Percutaneous transluminal recanalization for an occluded modified Potts shunt

Kanji Iga MD, Hiromitsu Gen MD and Takashi Konishi MD

Summary

We performed percutaneous transluminal recanalization successfully for an occluded modified Potts shunt in a 35-year-old man with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. Percutaneous transluminal recanalization deserves to be considered for occluded shunts if the duration of obstruction is short.
