Lets agree on a few principles<br />
1. Surgical strategy largely determined by:<br />
– BVF<br />
– Semilunar valves<br />
– (aortic arch)<br />
2. BVF <strong>resection</strong> is not applicable during neonatal<br />
period (exposure, friable tissue)<br />
Therefore, if subAS (restrictive BVF) is severe<br />
enough to warrant <strong>resection</strong>, then DKS/Norwood<br />
is necessary (palliative switch?)
