Pediheart Podcast #275: Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial At 12 Years: Long Term Follow-Up

This week we review the results of the latest update of the Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial, specifically SVR III. How are HLHS patients are faring post Norwood at age 12? What is the overall transplant-free survival rate in this group? Are there differences in survival seen at 12 years between BTTT shunt patients and RV-PA conduit shunt patients? How do they compare in exercise capabilities? What about rates of PLE or arrhythmias seen? Are there interventions that may improve outcomes going forward? These are amongst the questions reviewed this week with the first author, Dr. Caren Goldberg who is Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Michigan.
