The Fontan procedure was initially proposed for tricuspid atresia (TA). We describe our experience with modifications of this operation and its application to previously uncorrectable congenital...
Results with the Mustard operation in simple transposition of the great arteries 1963-1985.
Trusler, G A, Williams, W G, Duncan, K F, Hesslein, P S, Benson, L N, Freedom, R M, ...
From May 1963 to December 1985, 329 infants and children underwent repair of simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) using Mustard's technique. To assess improvement, the patients were...

Freedom, R M, Olley, P M, Coceani, F, Rowe, R D
The patient with complex congenital heart disease, severe pulmonary outflow obstruction, and visceral heterotaxia, may have 'silent' obstruction of the pulmonary venous return. Severe reduction of...
Rapid evolution from "normal" left ventricular outflow tract to fatal subaortic stenosis in infancy.
Freedom, R M, Fowler, R S, Duncan, W J
Serial clinical, echocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiocardiographic data support the conclusion that over four months severe discrete subaortic stenosis evolved from a previously...
Torsade de pointes ventricular tachycardia in a newborn infant.
Finley, J P, Radford, D J, Freedom, R M
A case of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia of torsade de pointes variety occurring in a newborn infant is described. A rare problem in the newborn, ventricular tachycardia has been associated with...
Anatomical variants in aortic atresia. Potential candidates for ventriculoaortic reconstitution.
Freedom, R M, Williams, W G, Dische, M R, Rowe, R D
Aortic valve atresia is usually associated with severe hypoplasia of the left ventricle and mitral apparatus. Palliative procedures, including atrial septectomy, pulmonary artery-aorta anastomosis,...
Hsu, H. S., Nykanen, D. G., Williams, W. G., Freedom, R. M., Benson, L. N.
OBJECTIVE--To describe unusual venous communications from the right to the left atrium resulting in cyanosis after the modified Fontan procedure, and their management with transcatheter occlusion....
Endovascular stents in children under 1 year of age: acute impact and late results.
Hatai, Y., Nykanen, D. G., Williams, W. G., Freedom, R. M., Benson, L. N.
OBJECTIVES--To review efficacy and safety of endovascular stent implants in children < 1 year of age with congenital heart lesions. DESIGN--Retrospective study of patients in a tertiary care setting....
Profile of paediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension judged by responsiveness to vasodilators.

Twenty nine patients (19 male, mean (SD) age 6.25 (0.5) years (range 0.16-15 years] with typical pulmonary valve stenosis were treated by balloon dilatation of the pulmonary valve. They were studied...
Abnormal cardiac signs after Fontan type of operation: indicators of residua and sequelae.
Leung, M P, Benson, L N, Smallhorn, J F, Williams, W G, Trusler, G A, Freedom, R M
Among 74 survivors of the Fontan type of operation abnormal cardiac signs were detected in 46 (62%) at postoperative examination. The findings were analysed in relation to the state of the...
Ino, T, Benson, L N, Mikalian, H, Freedom, R M, Rowe, R D
Regression equations were developed from left ventricular casts of known volumes to calculate left ventricular volumes from biplane cineangiography obtained in non-standard views. Volumes were...
