Figure 1 Outcome of 80 Patients Who Underwent S1P From 2002 Through 2003
A tree of outcomes is presented for both RV-PA and BTS. *p = 0.74 between 2 groups (Fisher exact test), p = 0.04 between 2 groups (Fisher exact test), and p = 1.0 between 2 groups (Fisher exact test). BCPA = bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis; BTS = modified Blalock-Taussig shunt; CHB = Children's Hospital Boston; D/C = discharge; OSH = outside hospital; RV-PA = right ventricle to pulmonary artery shunt; S1P = stage one palliation; 2V repair = biventricular repair.
