Commentary: The bidirectional Glenn procedure can be useful in
palliating late presenting patients with complex congenital heart
disease
- John Lamberti
Abstract
The authors successfully utilize the bidirectional Glenn procedure to
palliate late presenting, cyanotic patients with complex congenital
heart disease. Additional information regarding preoperative diagnostic
testing would be helpful. There is little information regarding patient
screening and selection for the procedure. The short term results are
satisfactory, however, mid-term and longer follow-up data is lacking.
The treatment algorithm suggested by the report might be useful in other
settings.25 May 2021Submitted to Journal of Cardiac Surgery 29 May 2021Submission Checks Completed
