Abstract
Patients with SV and HS with S-P artery shunts are at risk for early shunt failure after a Ladd procedure. A higher mean preoperative BUN level is noted in patients with HS and early shunt failure. Careful risk-benefit analysis is indicated before recommending routine elective Ladd procedures in patients with HS.
