Percutaneous closure of Blalock-Taussig shunts using Gianturco coils.
Permeability of a Blalock-Taussig shunt can increase the risk of endocarditis and ventricular overload. Percutaneous embolization of these shunts gives variable results. We report our experience in 10 patients with percutaneous closure of modified Blalock-Taussig shunts using retrograde arterial embolization with Gianturco coils. The patients' median age was 2.8 years, and their median weight w...

We report our experience in 13 patients who underwent transcatheter closure of Fontan fenestration with the Cook detachable coils. These patients underwent the extracardiac type Fontan operation with a short conduit fenestration (n=7) or lateral tunnel type with a punch-hole fenestration (n=6). Fenestration closure was done at the mean age of 5.1+/-2.4 yr, average of 32 months after the Fontan ...

Transcatheter occlusion of Blalock-Taussig shunts was successfully performed in three children with the Rashkind double umbrella occluding device. Complete occlusion was confirmed angiographically in two patients and echocardiographically in the third. The delivery system was adapted for use through smaller sheaths making it more suitable for small children or arterial access.

Modified Blalock-Taussig shunts are usually clamped during the successive corrective or palliative surgical procedures carried out to treat underlying congenital heart disease, though at times they may be left permeable for a number of reasons. Subsequently, when this is no longer considered necessary and closure is indicated, the method of choice is percutaneous embolization using various coil...
