Abstract

The first successful stage I palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in a four-day-old female in the Philippines is reported, along with a discussion of the particular dynamics and challenges of performing this kind of surgery in a developing nation. Challenges met were not limited to the preoperative and perioperative period but involved the interstage period as well. In the face of such challenges, our experience, reported here, is the cause for cautious optimism.
