ABSTRACT

The goal with ventricular one and a half surgery is to establish a systemic / pulmonary index equal to 1, with no left ventricle overload. This is a real option for the treatment of pathologies involving single ventricle, especially in adolescent patients, which are considered out of surgical treatment. Results of our series are still promising. Nonetheless we consider this technique is a good surgical alternative, allowoing an adequate quality of life for this kind of patients.
