False aneurysm following modified Blalock-Taussig shunt.
A nine month old infant with life threatening tracheal compression due to a Blalock-Taussig shunt aneurysm is described. Successful surgical management is discussed.
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 کاملPulmonary annulus growth after the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt in tetralogy of Fallot.
BACKGROUND In tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), it is well known that postoperative pulmonary regurgitation reduces right ventricular function during long-term follow-up. Complete repair without a transannular patch should help avoid pulmonary regurgitation. Recently, primary complete repair has been preferred to the staged repair with use of a Blalock-Taussig shunt (BTS) even in neonates or small inf...
متن کاملModified 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 کاملStenting of the right ventricular outflow tract as primary palliation for Fallot-type lesions
Background: To describe the institutional experience, technical aspects and outcome of stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in the initial palliation of symptomatic patients with severely limited pulmonary blood flow. Methods: Retrospective case note and procedure review of patients undergoing stenting of the RVOT over a 10 year period at a quarternary institution. Patients: B...
