Recruitment of Borderline Ventricles

Sometimes, babies are born with ventricles that are slightly too small to perform the job they are meant to do. This occurs when the ventricles are considered borderline. This means there is concern that they won’t be able to support healthy circulation. Through this type of biventricular reconstruction, we can improve these ventricles so that they can perform the job they were meant to do, avoiding a single ventricle palliation (surgery).
