Patients were divided into two groups depending on surgical management for pulmonary blood flow (modified BT shunt [BT] and non-valved RVPAC [Sano]). RESULTS: Fifty-four patients were included in the study (BT: 31 patients vs. Sano: 23 patients). Diastolic blood pressure during the first ...
Thirty-two patients received a modified BT-shunt (mBTS) and 24 patients a right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit (RVPAC). There was a trend towards higher early mortality in patients with mBTS (mBTS: 15.6%, n=5 vs. RVPAC: 4.2%, n=1 patients, p=0.066). Higher diastolic pressures...
In a critical LVOTO inception cohort (2005-2014; 20 institutions), a total of 564 neonates underwent stage 1 palliation with the Norwood operation with a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (NW-BT; n = 232; 41%), Norwood operation with a right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery conduit (NW-...
