Conclusion
This term defines a spectrum of malformation which
share underdevelopment of the left heart, including
the left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic
valve and aortic arch. Circulation depends on the
patency of ductus arteriosus, utilizing the right
ventricle as the combined systemic and pulmonary
ventricle.
HLHS: definition
“Complete ductus dependence
of the systemic circulation
due to mitro-aortic atresia or hypoplasia
with hypoplasia of the left ventricle”

Prevalence
Natural Hystory
0,2-0,3/1000 live births
3,5% of CHD - 55% male
95% mortality in the 1° month
80% mortality in the 1° week
Autosomal recessive or multifactorial inheritance
Concordant lesions
(Bicuspid aortic valve in 1st degree relatives)
Chromosomal 10%
Extracardiac
Major malformations 10%
Anomalies 30%

“…that the introduction of a nationwide
protocol for fetal ultrasound scanning after
18 weeks of gestation would strikingly
reduce the numbers of newborn babies with
hypoplastic left heart syndrome.”
L.D. Allan, Lancet 1991
HLHS:
impact of fetal diagnosis
Fetal diagnosis doesn’t improve
the pre and post operatory mortality
Fetal diagnosis improves pre-operatory
conditions but not the surgical outcome
