Hypoplastic left Heart Syndrome

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) is a group of congenital malformations characterized by significant underdevelopment of the left side of heart, including: the left ventricle, left atrium, aortic and the mitral valves.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) encompasses a group of cardiac anomalies that have in common a complete obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract secondary to an absence of pulmonary valve development, and the presence of a complete interventricular septum.
