Blalock - Taussig shunt . modified ( polytetrafluoroethylene ) Balloon dilatation of a stenosed
A 17 month old girl with tricuspid atresia, ventricular septal defect, subvalvar and valvar pulmonary stenosis, and increasing cyanosis had angiographic evidence ofproximal stenosis of a right modified (5 mm diameter) Blalock-Taussig shunt. She underwent palliative balloon angioplasty with a 6 mm Schneider balloon catheter. Successful dilatation was achieved without complication. Four months la...

متن کاملDuctal stenting for acute thrombosis of modified Blalock-Taussig shunts.
transannular patch was placed and stent flow was interrupted with a clip. A 1500-g neonate diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, right aortic arch, ductus left and left superior vena cava, was administered prostaglandin to 2 months and underwent a right MBT shunt. Prostaglandin perfusion was restarted at 24 h as saturation was <65%. Echocardiography detected no flow i...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of Blalock-Taussig shunts using Gianturco coils.
Permeability of a Blalock-Taussig shunt can increase the risk of endocarditis and ventricular overload. Percutaneous embolization of these shunts gives variable results. We report our experience in 10 patients with percutaneous closure of modified Blalock-Taussig shunts using retrograde arterial embolization with Gianturco coils. The patients' median age was 2.8 years, and their median weight w...
متن کاملComplications of modified Blalock-Taussig shunts mimicking pulmonary disease.
The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is commonly performed as early palliation in cyanotic congenital heart disease. To highlight unusual diagnostic problems in such patients, two cases are reported in whom shunt complications were initially diagnosed as lobar pneumonia and tuberculosis, respectively. The children, an 8 month old boy and a 3 year old boy, had false aneurysm secondary to infection...
