Abstract Objective: There are limited studies analyzing pulsatile Glenn as a long‐term pallia‐
tion strategy for single ventricle patients. This study sought to determine their out‐
comes at a single institution.
Design: A retrospective review was performed.
Setting: Study performed at a single pediatric hospital.
Patients: All single ventricle patients who underwent pulsatile Glenn from 1995 to
2016 were included.
Outcome measures: Pulsatile Glenn failure was defined as takedown, transplant, or
death. Further palliation was defined as Fontan, 1.5, or biventricular repair. Risk fac‐

Results: Seventy‐eight patients underwent pulsatile Glenn at age… More >
