Abstract
A 1-month-old girl underwent right modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) for pulmonary atresia with hypoplastic right ventricle. Five months after palliation, she suffered from sepsis and progressive desaturation following otitis media. Computed tomography and angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm surrounding the mBTS graft. After stabilization of the infection, we performed pseudoaneurysm resection, shunt-graft removal, and the bidirectional Glenn (BDG) procedure under cardiopulmonary bypass. Her condition improved, and she was discharged on the 17th day after surgery. When parameters for the partial right heart bypass should permit, the BDG procedure can be a beneficial recovery procedure for the cases of infected pseudoaneurysm after mBTS in Fontan candidates.Entities:
