AbstractAn infant developed severe desaturation within a few hours of construction of a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. Echocardiography revealed that the shunt had become occluded, and this was confirmed angiographically. At catheterisation, therefore, we passed a 0.014”percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty wire through the occluded shunt into the right pulmonary artery and then dilated the shunt successfully using a 5 mm coronary angioplasty balloon. Six weeks later, the shunt remained patent.
