The optimal management strategy has been an area of much debate. We sought to review the management strategy of patients with PA\/IVS at our institution to better understand what metrics can be used to guide management and initial interventions. The study aims to examine the outcomes of a single-center approach to managing patients with PA\/IVS. Our cohort included 29 patients; one patient underwent a planned transplant at ten days of life (3.4%), 12 underwent repair via a two-ventricle circulation (41.4%), 7 underwent repair with 1.5 ventricle circulation (24.1%), and 7 underwent repair with single ventricle circulation (24.1%). Survival was achieved in 93.1% with two patients (6.9%) expiring. The TV annulus z-score was significantly different between the three groups, with the 1\u00a0V group having the smallest median TV annulus\n                    <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>\n                    -score at \u2212\u00a04.04 (IQR \u2212\u00a04.60\u2013 \u2212\u00a03.60) and the 2\u00a0V group having the largest median TV\n                    <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>\n                    -score at \u2212\u00a01.4 (IQR \u2212\u00a02.24\u2013 \u2212\u00a00.12). Six patients underwent late right ventricular decompression.
