ABSTRACT

The hybrid approach is a less invasive initial alternative then the palliation of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome, combining surgical and interventional techniques. We present a newborn with high risk and hybrid procedure (bilateral pulmonary banding, arterial duct stenting and atrioseptostomy). Angiography and echocardiography showed unrestrictive atrial defect, unobstructed pulmonary artery and stent permeable. We will require further research to determine whether the hybrid approach will provide better results in the short and long term.
