Optimal Surgical Management Using a Classic Blalock-Taussig Shunt for an Infected Pseudoaneurysm After a Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt Procedure Noritaka Okada, MD, PhD, Hiroomi Murayama, MD, Hiroki Hasegawa, MD, PhD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 101, Issue 5, Pages (May 2016) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 1 Angiographic image of left-sided modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) in case 1 demonstrates pseudoaneurysm formation arising from proximal anastomosis site. Pseudoaneurysm compressed shunt, resulting in extremely diminished blood flow.

Fig 3 Angiographic image of left-sided modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) in case 2 reveals pseudoaneurysm from proximal graft anastomosis, resulting in nearly occluded shunt flow.

Fig 4 (A and B) Computed tomography shows rapid dilatation of the pseudoaneurysm, thought to indicate an impending rupture just before removal of infected graft in case 2. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
