Examples of single ventricular physiology:
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Pulmonary atresia
- Tricuspid atresia
- Ebstein anomaly
- Double outlet RV
Etc.

This is usually completed step wise, starting with a Norwood procedure/Sano shunt hybrid (reconstructs a neoaorta and provides shunt connection from RV to PA), followed by a Glenn (shunt takedown with connection of SVC to PA), then a Fontan (IVC also connected to PA).
