More Information

The BT Shunt is often used as a temporary solution for newborns or infants who are not yet ready for a complete heart repair. It stabilizes the child by improving oxygen saturation and allowing them to grow stronger for future corrective surgery.

Conditions Treated with BT Shunt:

• Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
• Pulmonary Atresia
• Tricuspid Atresia
• Other complex cyanotic congenital heart defects

How the Procedure Works:

• A synthetic tube (usually made of Gore-Tex) is placed between a major artery (subclavian or innominate) and the pulmonary artery.
• This allows more blood to reach the lungs for oxygenation.
• Surgery is done under general anesthesia and requires a short hospital stay for recovery.
