Abstract
Serous leakage and intrathoracic collections from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) conduits used for modified Blalock-Taussig shunts are an uncommon but challenging clinical problem. We describe a simple technique using an externally applied cyanoacrylate adhesive with an ePTFE wrap leading to rapid and safe resolution without contamination of the mediastinum and facilitating later reoperation.Entities:
