Abstract
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome includes a wide range of malformations with varying degrees of development of the structures of the
left heart and aorta. Therefore, the degree of hypoplasia of the left heart structures at various critical congenital heart defects in the
neonatal period is decisive in the choice of surgical treatment. This report is intended to help lay down parameters of the left ventricle, mitral and/or aortic valves, as well as the ascending aorta size, that allow execution of the biventricular repair. To make a decision if it's possible to execute the biventricular correction of congenital heart defects with hypoplasia of the left heart structures it's
necessary to estimate hemodynamic, morphometric and other parameters. The result of this study is the concept of presence of the
necessary physiological and anatomical factors and their valid parameter values that allow execution of the biventricular repair of the
congenital heart defect of the neonatal patients.
