The article focuses on the outcomes of patients undergoing biventricular repair (BVR) after an initial hybrid Norwood approach as asalvage procedure in extremely sick infants; or as the initial palliation in patients with uncertain feasibility of single-stage BVR due to severeleft ventricular outflow tract obstruction; or as part of a left ventricle (LV) recruitment strategy in patients with borderline LVs.
