1 Elastic Properties of the Reconstructed Aorta in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome 
Brian M. Cardis, MD, Derek A. Fyfe, MD, PhD, William T. Mahle, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 81, Issue 3, Pages (March 2006) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Distensibility index (10−3/mm Hg) in the transverse aortic arch in the three patient groups. The hypoplastic heart syndrome (HLHS) group demonstrated a lower index than either of the other two groups, non-HLHS single-ventricle lesions or two-ventricle lesions (*p = 0.007).

3 Fig 2 Stiffness index (β) in the transverse aortic arch in the three patient groups. The hypoplastic heart syndrome (HLHS) group with aortic arch reconstruction demonstrated a significantly higher stiffness index than the two other patient groups, non-HLHS single-ventricle lesions or two-ventricle lesions (*p = 0.005).
