The Blalock and Taussig Shunt Revisited
The systemic to pulmonary artery shunts are done as palliative procedures for cyanotic congenital heart diseases ranging from simple tetralogy of Fallots (TOFs)/pulmonary atresia (PA) to complex univentricular hearts. They allow growth of pulmonary arteries and maintain regulated blood flow to the lungs till a proper age and body weight suitable for definitive corrective repair is reached. We h...

متن کاملPseudoaneurysm following modified Blalock Taussig shunt.
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 ...
متن کاملCLINICOPATHOLOGIC 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. Daoud,2 Hancock," and Robe...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular disease complicating the Blalock-Taussig anastomosis.
The pulmonary vascular bed was evaluated following a Blalock-Taussig shunt performed in 36 patients for decreased pulmonary blood flow. The time of follow-up ranged from one to 21 years after operation. No patients developed severe pulmonary changes in less than eight years after institution of the shunt. Ten of 20 patients having a shunt eight years or longer developed some degree of pulmonary...
