Abstract Objectives: We sought to determine the long-term outcomes and mortality-associated factors after systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt (SPS) in patients with heterotaxy syndrome. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients with a functional single ventricle and heterotaxy syndrome who underwent SPS at our center from January 2001 to April 2022. Results: This study involved 84 patients. Restrictive pulmonary blood flow requiring early modulation was presented in 34 (40%) patients. Compared with patients without restrictive pulmonary blood flow (N = 50 [60%]), the postnatal survival of these 34 patients was significantly lower at 10 years (log rank: p = 0.04), but the statistical significance… More >
