Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt versus ductal stenting for palliation of cardiac lesions with inadequate pulmonary blood flow.
OBJECTIVE The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is the most commonly used palliative procedure for infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation. Recently, catheter-based stenting of the ductus arteriosus has been used by some centers to avoid surgical shunt placement. We evaluated the durability and safety of ductal stenting as an alternative to the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. METHODS...

متن کاملPseudoaneurysm following modified Blalock Taussig shunt.
The modified Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt is a common palliative procedure for congenital cyanotic heart disease (CHD) with diminished pulmonary blood flow(1). In developing countries, definitive surgery usually gets delayed due to limited resources and expertise(2). Children with cyanotic CHD and BT shunt often present to the pediatrician resulting in some of the complications of BT shunt being ...
متن کاملAnesthesia Challenges in Patent Ductus Arteriosus Stenting for Congenital Heart Disease
389 The Editor, Ductus arteriosus is communication present between pulmonary artery and proximal descending aorta. It is essential in fetal life to shunt blood from right ventricle bypassing the underdeveloped lungs. It closes functionally soon after birth and anatomically by days to few weeks. Ductal patency may be lifesaving in few cyanotic congenital heart diseases to maintain pulmonary bloo...
متن کاملNorwood Procedure for Palliation of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Conduit vs Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt.
Patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergo a series of operations to separate the pulmonary and systemic circulations. The first of at least 3 operations occurs in the newborn period, with a stage I palliation. The goal of stage I palliation is to provide pulmonary blood flow and create an unobstructed systemic outflow tract. Advances in surgical techniques and intraoperative and pos...
