Commentary: Should aortopulmonary shunts be combined with aorto-right ventricular shunts or with a ventricular assist device?

Year: 2021

Type: editorial

Abstract: In this issue of JTCVS Techniques, Said and colleagues1 report a combined modified Blalock–Taussig shunt (MBTS) and an aorta (Ao)–tricuspid valve (TV)–right ventricular (RV) shunt in a neonate with pulmonary atresia, intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS), RV-dependent coronary circulation (RVDCC), and bilateral coronary ostial atresia. The patient was bridged by this “double-shunt” strategy until heart transplantation after undergoing 2 runs of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
