Hybrids and Norwoods

Thanks for remembering her. She's much better and has been back in NICU for more than a week. We'll see her in the fall for her Glenn...

I have taken care of many HLHS kids. Almost all of them have had the Norwood with either the BT or Sano shunt. We have performed the hybrid procedure here at our facility twice. The first passed away at about 3 months and the other was successful but has not yet returned for their Glenn. From the reading that I have done on the procedure the majority of kids undergoing the hybrid do wonderfully for their first stage of repair and then have a harder time with their Glenn since they are also doing a whole arch reconstruction at that time.
