Impact of left ventricular rehabilitation on surgical outcomes in patients with borderline left heart hypoplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The clinical significance of left ventricular rehabilitation for borderline left ventricular hypoplasia is controversial. This study aimed to review the surgical results of patients with borderline left ventricular hypoplasia and to evaluate the impact of left ventricular rehabilitation on outcomes.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with borderline left ventricular hypoplasia and surgically treated from 2018 to 2022 were included. Overall surgical outcomes were evaluated. The changes in left ventricular volumes were calculated using angiography, and age-adjusted z-score N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were analyzed in patients who underwent left ventricular rehabilitation.

Results

Thirty-three patients were included. Sixteen patients underwent prim
