Percutaneous transluminal recanalization for an occluded modified Potts shunt

Int J Cardiol. 1997 Oct 31;62(1):69-71. doi: 10.1016/s0167-5273(97)00172-1.

Abstract

We performed percutaneous transluminal recanalization successfully for an occluded modified Potts shunt in a 35-year-old man with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. Percutaneous transluminal recanalization deserves to be considered for occluded shunts if the duration of obstruction is short.
