  • Title: Role of systemic to pulmonary artery shunt after cavopulmonary anastomosis.
    Author: Garg P, Talwar S, Kothari SS, Rajashekar P, Saxena R, Airan B.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2013 Sep; 28(5):599-603. PubMed ID: 23889551.
    Abstract:
    Superior cavopulmonary anastomosis and total cavopulmonary anastomosis are the procedures of choice for the management of patients with a functionally univentricular heart. We review the various indications, sites, advantages, and complications of a systemic to pulmonary artery shunt after the creation of superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. Systemic pulmonary artery shunt may be useful as a palliative strategy in patients who have hypoxemia and completion of total cavopulmonary anastomosis is not feasible.
