Abstract:
A 19-day-old child suffering from cyanosis due to tetralogy of Fallot was palliated by using his right retroesophageal subclavian artery. It was anastomosed side-to-side onto the ascending aorta and end-to-side onto the right pulmonary artery. The palliation obtained with this systemic-pulmonary shunt was satisfying. The right brachial vascular flow was normal.
