Short Communications Vertebrobasilar Ischemia After Total Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot: Significance of Subclavian Steal Created by Blalock-Taussig Anastomosis Vertebrobasilar Ischemia After Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
Patients who have undergone a Blalock-Taussig anastomosis for treatment of congenital heart disease may have the vascular anatomy of the subclavian steal syndrome. Cerebral ischemia has been reported in such patients, but not when total surgical correction has eliminated other predisposing factors. We report a patient who developed vertebrobasilar insufficiency 31 years after Blalock-Taussig an...
متن کاملHyperfunction of Blalock anastomosis associated with Marfan's syndrome.
Hyperfunction of the subclavian-pulmonary artery anastomosis causing pulmonary vascular disease is uncommon. The mechanism for the late development of an overgenerous shunt is usually obscure. We report the case of a 31-year-old patient with Fallot's tetralogy and Marfan's syndrome who had undergone a right Blalock manoeuvre at the age of 5. At necropsy the Blalock anastomosis was widely patent...
متن کاملHeight and weight gain after total correction of Fallot's tetralogy.
In a consecutive series of 100 cases of Fallot's tetralogy undergoing total correction, the mean birthweight was found to be just below the 50th centile. Blalock-Taussig or Waterston shunts were performed in 45 patients. Before their shunt operations a significant number of patients had become retarded in height and weight development but after the shunt operations many patients showed accelera...
متن کاملTranscatheter occlusion of a Blalock-Taussig shunt with a detachable balloon in a child.
A case of transcatheter occlusion of a Blalock-Taussig shunt with a detachable silicone filled balloon is described. This 11 year old boy had previously had a repair of tetralogy of Fallot together with ligation of a large Blalock-Taussig shunt. Though there was a good surgical result, the shunt proved to be incompletely closed leaving a significant left to right shunt. As an alternative to a f...
متن کاملRelationship between Polycythemia and Surgical Mortality in Patients Undergoing Total Correction for Tetralogy of Fallot.
SELECTION of the most suitable operation for patients with Fallot's tetralogy should be based upon a knowledge of the risk involved. Results of the Blalock-Taussig operation have been thoroughly studied.1 Shunt operations can be performed with good knowledge of general risk to the patient and with assurance that the result will most often be dramatic and recovery prompt. At best, however, the r...
