Abstract
HighlightsThe article presents a unique clinical case of correction of hypoplastic left heart syndrome with Norwood procedure using a “KemAngioprosthesis” vascular xenograft as a Sano shunt. AbstractWe present the first successful clinical case of using the “KemAngioprosthesis” vascular xenograft in the pulmonary position as the Sano shunt in the Norwood procedure for correction of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. A newborn baby (gestation period of 38 weeks) diagnosed with congenital heart disease, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome was admitted to the Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases. The child survived the first stage of the modified Norwood procedure (Sano shunt) using a biological vascular prosthesis. This clinical case showed that using the “KemAngioprosthesis” vascular xenograft in Norwood procedure to modify pulmonary blood flow by creating an anastomosis between the right ventricle and bifurcation of the pulmonary artery is effective and safe in the short-term period.
