Abstract
An infant is presented who at birth met criteria consistent with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He was followed clinically and by 11 weeks of age demonstrated substantial growth of the left ventricle. He underwent successful repair of coarctation of the aorta and continues to do well with moderate aortic stenosis. The difficulties of predicting left ventricular growth and function are discussed, and management options are reviewed.Keywords
