Abstract
BACKGROUND: Infants with single ventricle heart disease and severe atrioventricular valve regurgitation have poor outcomes following conventional staged palliation. As such, ventricular assist device (VAD) placement along with hybrid stage 1 palliation has been proposed as a bridge to heart transplant. We present a novel surgical technique for VAD implantation concurrent with hybrid stage 1 that avoids cardiopulmonary bypass.
