Abstract

Aim: to demonstrate a clinical observation of the use of hemodynamic treatment in a newborn with hypoplasia syndromeof the left heart.Methods. A newborn with a congenital heart disease that affects normal blood flow through the heart and is characterizedby critical underdevelopment of the left heart (left heart hyperplasia syndrome) underwent the Norwood procedure. Italso provides observation during the inter-stage period and information on the procedure of bidirectional cavopulmonaryanastomosis.Results. Hypoplasia syndrome of the left heart is 1.4-3.8% among all congenital heart defects and 16% among criticalcongenital heart defects. Mortality in large cardiac surgery centers currently does not exceed 15%. However, mortality amongpatients with low body weight is up to 51% after the first stage of palliative treatment. In our clinical case, we describe a childwith hypoplasia of the left heart and low body weight, as well as hemodynamic treatment (Norwood procedure, inter-stageperiod and bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis procedure).Conclusion. Palliative hemodynamic correction in patients with hypoplasia syndrome of the left heart and low bodyweight can be performed with good early and long-term results.
