Abstract Background: Swallowing dysfunction is a known complication for infants with complex congenital heart disease (CHD), but few studies have examined swallowing outcomes following the hybrid procedure for stage 1 palliation in children with single
ventricle physiology.
Objectives: (1) Identify the incidence of aspiration in all infants with single ventricle
physiology who underwent the hybrid procedure and (2) Compare results of clinical
bedside and instrumental swallowing evaluations to examine the predictive value of
a less invasive swallowing assessment for this population of high‐risk infants.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort chart review study. All patients with single‐ventricle physiology who underwent the… More >
