Pseudoaneurysm following modified Blalock Taussig shunt.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 misdiagnosed(3,4).

Complications 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...

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...

A modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) is a surgically placed graft between the systemic and pulmonary arterial circulations that redirects systemic blood flow into the pulmonary circulation. It is often placed in those with rightsided obstructive cardiac defects to increase pulmonary blood flow. Postoperative shunt patency is critical to adequate systemic oxygenation. Nevertheless, in the imm...

A four year old boy with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect had an acute cyanotic episode three years after undergoing a right-sided, 6 mm diameter, modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. On admission no continuous murmur could be heard from the shunt and the typical high velocity, continuous flow profile of the shunt could not be identified by Doppler echocardiography. At catheterisation...
