Extract
Transplantation of the heart remains a viable option not only as primary treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, but also for end-stage problems after the Norwood sequence of palliations. In this review, I discuss the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative echocardiographic evaluation of these patients, with special emphasis on hemodynamic and functional assessment as well as surveillance for rejection and coronary arterial disease.
