At University Hospital, Glenn procedure is performed using advanced pediatric cardiac surgery techniques and individualised treatment plans tailored to the child's heart condition. Established in 1842, this SAC hospital in Basel, Switzerland has 773 beds and provides comprehensive cardiac care.

The Glenn Procedure may be recommended for children with selected complex congenital heart conditions in which the heart has only one effective pumping chamber. As part of staged single-ventricle palliation, the procedure connects the superior vena cava to the pulmonary arteries to improve blood flow to the lungs. Before surgery, specialists assess heart anatomy, oxygen levels, ventricular function, and pulmonary circulation. Postoperative monitoring and ongoing cardiac care are important for recovery.
