Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a leading cause of neonatal mortality. In recent years, popularity of hybrid approach has increased. Hybrid procedures which requires close cooperations between paediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons includes a less invasive primary procedure; integrating interventional cardiology approaches and surgical techniques. Herein, we report two cases with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. We performed hybrid approach including ductal stenting and bilateral pulmonary banding on these patients.  <br> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Harran University}
