Abstract
Adding a mBT shunt to remedy a stenotic RV-PA shunt early after a Norwood operation can lead to pulmonary overcirculation and may decrease systemic oxygen delivery. The stenotic RV-PA shunt should be taken down. Conversion to an optimal mBT shunt is preferable to augmenting a stenotic RV-PA shunt with a smaller mBT shunt.
