Özet

For the palliation of a five-month-old male baby who had a duct-dependent cyanotic congenital heart disease, a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt was made using a 4 mm bovine mesenteric venous graft. The shunt occluded on the seventh postoperative day and was surgically revised. However, rethrombosis of the graft was detected six days after the second operation. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty and thrombolysis were performed to shunt material successfully.
