摘要
Between 1978 and 1990, 53 consecutive modified Blalock-Taussig (MBT) shunts were performed on 51 neonates with cyanotic congenital heart disease using 3 mm-5 mm Gore-Tex grafts. Only 4 of these children had uncomplicated tetralogy of Fallot. The remainder had more complicated pathology requiring urgent intervention. Retrospective analysis of the acute and long term results was performed with 100% follow-up, ranging from 1 month to 12 years (mean 3 years). There were 3 (6%) early deaths (within 30 days of operation) and 17 (33%) late deaths. Of the late deaths, 2 died after further palliation, 2 died after total correction and 13 died suddenly at home. Post mortem examination of the 13 sudden deaths revealed blocked shunts in only 3. Actuarial survival at 2 years was 58%. Shunt patency at 12 months was 87% and at 2 years, 62%. No patient used their initial MBT shunt for more than 40 months. Although this shunt provides good initial palliation, there is a high incidence of late sudden death. We are also concerned about the limited life span of the shunt which partly (3/13) explains the sudden deaths. Therefore we have adopted an aggressive approach to re-study by angiography within 3 months of surgery.
