Early postoperative outcome in a series of infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing stage I palliation operation with either modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit.

During this time, pulmonary blood flow was provided either by a modified Blalock Taussig Shunt (BT) constructed between the innominate artery and the right pulmonary artery or by a conduit placed from the infundibulum of the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery confluence (Sano). The choice of surgical procedure was determined by the preference of the surgeon rather than specific anatomic or physiologic determinants. Infants had similar demographic and preoperative clinical features. However, 8 infants (22%) in the BT shunt group had atrioventricular value regurgitation compared to no infants in the Sano group, and almost half (49%) of the BT shunt group had a “lowest” pH <7.3 compared to 24% of the infants who were treated by a Sano modification.
