Package Description
Blalock-Taussig shunts, often known as BT shunts, are used to treat abnormalities that impede blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Pulmonary atresia, pulmonary stenosis, and tricuspid atresia are among them.
The BT shunt is a treatment for palliative purposes. It doesn't fix the problem, but it can assist with symptoms until the child is older and/or the problem can be fixed. The surgery is also known as the "blue baby" operation.
A shunt is a tiny tube composed of Gore-Tex, a synthetic material. The BT shunt has a diameter of 3 to 3.5 mm. It creates a detour by connecting a segment of the aorta to the pulmonary artery. This permits enough blood to travel through the lungs, allowing for more oxygen to be taken in. The shunt eliminates any cyanosis or blueness that the youngster was experiencing. It is a closed-heart surgery.
The BT shunt performs the same function as the ductus arteriosus. It is frequently implanted after the ductus normally shuts. Shunts are often utilised for four to five months, or until the kid outgrows them and requires a second surgery or permanent repair.
KEY POINTS:
- Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunts serve to alleviate symptoms of the condition until the kid reaches adulthood or the defect can be fixed.
- The shunt acts as a detour, allowing enough blood to travel past the lungs and absorb more oxygen.
- A closed-heart operation is done to place the shunt.
- Shunts are routinely used for four to five months before permanent repair is necessary.
RISKS:
Shunt obstruction, tube infection, and increased blood flow to the lungs, which can lead to vascular injury or reduced blood supply to the brain and body, are all risks.
