Hyperfunction of Blalock anastomosis associated with Marfan's syndrome.

Hyperfunction 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...

Blalock-Taussig anastomosis in 126 patients with Fallot's tetralogy.

Subclavian Steal in Patients with Blalock-taussig Anastomosis.

ALTHOUGH the collateral anastomotic channels that occur secondary to obstruction of the first segment of the subclavian artery have received relatively little comment by anatomists, the participation by the vertebral artery in such instances has been mentioned.' Recently, the finding of retrograde flow from the vertebral artery on the side of an obstruction in the first part of the subclavian a...

CLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS Pulmonary Vascular Disease Complicating the Blalock-Taussig Anastomosis

ALTHOUGH THE BLALOCK-TAUSSIG SHUNT has been performed since 1945,1 the long-term effects upon the pulmonary vascular bed have been recorded only incompletely. While pulmonary vascular disease following the Waterston or Potts operations has been reported to occur in from 10 to 50% of cases, its incidence after the BlalockTaussig shunt has been thought to be much lower.
