Abstrakt: |
Studies suggest the internal thoracic artery as a shunt option due to its growth potential. However, long-term data are lacking. Here, a patient with a failing single ventricle shunt had an enlarged internal thoracic artery. We followed the patient for 12 years after converting this artery into a Blalock-Taussig shunt, analysing its growth to assess its effectiveness. |
