Together with Alfred Blalock, Helen Taussig rose to fame because of the Blalock-Taussig shunt. This is a surgical procedure in children who suffer from hypoxia because of a congenital cardiac malformation. Because of this affliction, they are blue. Less known is the fact that dr. Taussig also played a crucial role in the prohibition of thalidomide in the USA, the drug that had been responsible ...
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 ...
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 an 18-month-old boy with the association of pectus excavatum and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). We successfully performed simultaneous pectus repair using sternal elevation without any prosthetic support and total correction of TOF after a prior modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. Retracting a divided costo-sternal complex with a rectus abdominal flap away from the operative field before the ...
Abstract A newborn with hypoplastic left heart underwent a Norwood operation. Obstruction of the Blalock–Thomas–Taussig shunt was treated stent. During resuscitation, this compressed, which contributed to fatal outcome.
A nine month old infant with life threatening tracheal compression due to a Blalock-Taussig shunt aneurysm is described. Successful surgical management is discussed.
BACKGROUND The Pediatric Heart Network trial comparing outcomes in 549 infants with single right ventricle undergoing a Norwood procedure randomized to modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or right ventricle-pulmonary artery shunt (RVPAS) found better 1-year transplant-free survival in those who received RVPAS. We sought to compare the impact of shunt type on echocardiographic indices of cardiac size...
We describe a case in which a discrete atretic segment of the right pulmonary artery (due to a Blalock-Taussig shunt) was reconstructed using a new radiofrequency system, balloon dilation, and stent implantation in an 18-month-old patient. The shunt was coil-occluded. The technique and applications of this novel approach are discussed.
