Abstract:
Modified Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunts are typically performed with biosynthetic polytetrafluoroethylene grafts. However, biologic conduits are being increasingly investigated. We herein report a case in which a femoral artery homograft was effectively used as material for a Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt.
