VARIABILITY IN FETAL CEREBROVASCULAR RESISTANCE IN CYANOTIC CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE: COMPARISON BETWEEN TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES AND HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME

In HLHS, due to intra-cardiac mixing, cerebral oxygen saturation is only mildly diminished in comparison to normal, but cerebral blood volume delivered may be markedly reduced due to a small aorta. [...]cerebrovascular resistance diminishes in order to compensate.
