Temporary aorto-pulmonary shunt for pulmonary hypertension after truncus arteriosus repair

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

We describe successful management of pulmonary hypertension with a reversible aorto-pulmonary (central) shunt and inhaled nitric oxide gas after truncus arteriosus repair. A temporary central shunt may provide a lifeline in those cases refractory to pharmacologic pulmonary vasodilation as long as marginal systemic oxygenation can be maintained.
