Stage I: stabilization of aortic and pulmonary blood flow, e.g., Norwood, pulmonary artery band, Blalock-Taussig shunt, central shunt; Stage II: establishment of partial cavopulmonary circulation between the superior vena cava and pulmonary arteries, e.g., Glenn shunt, Kawashima; Stage III: completion of cavopulmonary circulation, e.g., Fontan.
