Norwood Operation of a Neonate With Pentalogy of Cantrell.

Abstract

Surgical correction of Cantrell syndrome is often associated with an extremely high mortality rate due to the possibility of wound infection or the severity of cardiac anomalies. We report a case of Norwood operation and repositioning of the heart successfully performed 1 day after the birth of a neonate with pentalogy of Cantrell. The patient had double-outlet right ventricle, subaortic stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, hypoplastic aortic arch, and coarctation of the aorta. The patient underwent the Glenn operation at the age of 1 year and is now waiting for the Fontan operation.
