Abstract
The treatment of newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) follows a well-established classical three-step algorithm for most institutions worldwide. In Giessen, the hybrid approach was developed as a primary palliation for newborns with HLHS and later on for patients with left heart complex (HLHC). The hybrid procedure has moved from a rescue approach to an alternative modality of a Norwood palliation.
