Impact of 3-mm Blalock-Taussig shunt in neonates and infants with a functionally single ventricle.
Functionally single ventricle (f-SV) is susceptible to volume overload. Atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) tends to develop and ventricular function deteriorates due to excessive pulmonary blood flow following modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS). On the other hand, a small caliber graft has risks of early obstruction and poor growth of pulmonary vascular beds. We assessed the effect ...

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 ...
