Single-Ventricle Disease: Long-Term Outcomes and Global Morbidity in the Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial.

Key Points

• The study aims to assess long-term outcomes in patients with single ventricle disease and explore factors influencing morbidity.
• Compared outcomes between two types of shunts in infants with single ventricle defects.
• Utilized data from the Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial.
• Analyzed interactions between shunt type and severity of tricuspid regurgitation.
• Most patients experienced significant long-term morbidity.
• No overall differences in outcomes based on shunt type were noted.
• Severe tricuspid regurgitation demonstrated a notable interaction with shunt outcomes.
