Abstract

In this report, we describe an infant with HLHS, who underwent PDA stenting which allowed the infant to thrive as an outpatient without intervening surgical palliation. The patient eventually underwent successful cardiac transplantation at 3 months of age. The infant is well at 1 year after transplant follow-up.
