Surgical palliation of tricuspid atresia.
In the 20-year period ending December 31, 1973 we operated on 105 patients for palliation of tricuspid atresia (TA) with reduced pulmonary blood flow. Pott's anastomosis (85), Blalock-Taussig anastomosis (19), intrapericardial aorta (Ao)-to-right pulmonary artery (RPA) (18), Glenn procedure (3) and miscellaneous shunts (2) have been used. Of patients undergoing operation more than 15 years ago,...
متن کاملModified Blalock-Taussig shunt versus ductal stenting for palliation of cardiac lesions with inadequate pulmonary blood flow.
OBJECTIVE The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is the most commonly used palliative procedure for infants with ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation. Recently, catheter-based stenting of the ductus arteriosus has been used by some centers to avoid surgical shunt placement. We evaluated the durability and safety of ductal stenting as an alternative to the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. METHODS...
متن کاملStaged surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot in infants.
A cohort of 61 consecutive patients 24 months of age of younger had palliative shunts for symptoms of tetralogy of Fallot during a 12-year period. Thirty-six of these patients have been followed through definitive intracardiac repair or to death. For analysis palliative operations were separated into two six-year periods, 1965--1970. During the first period seven of 30 infants operated on died;...
متن کاملImpact of 3-mm Blalock-Taussig shunt in neonates and infants with a functionally single ventricle.
Functionally single ventricle (f-SV) is susceptible to volume overload. Atrioventricular valve regurgitation (AVVR) tends to develop and ventricular function deteriorates due to excessive pulmonary blood flow following modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS). On the other hand, a small caliber graft has risks of early obstruction and poor growth of pulmonary vascular beds. We assessed the effect ...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Thrombosis, Overshunting and Death in Infants after Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt.
BACKGROUND The Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt procedure can provide increased flow of blood to the lungs for babies born with certain congenital heart defects. We evaluated 44 subjects under 2 years of age who had a Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) procedure performed from 2009-2013, to investigate risk factors for thrombosis, overshunting and death. METHODS The study subjects included i...
