Abstract
Aim. To study the five-year experience of using a modified subclavian-pulmonary anastomosis according to BlelokTaussig in the surgical treatment of complex congenital heart disease in patients with univentricular hemodynamics and depleted pulmonary blood flow.
Material and methods. From 2012 to 2020, 32 children with complex CHD, with duct-dependent blood flow, underwent operations to impose a modified subclavian-pulmonary Blelock-Taussig anastomosis (MBTA). The average age of the children was 13±6.7 months, and the average weight was 8.8± 5.2 kg.
Results and discussion. Fatal outcome in the early postoperative period was observed in 3.13% of cases. Bleeding in the early postoperative period was observed in 6.25% of patients. In 28.1% of patients with Fallo’s tetrada thereafter radical correction of the defect was performed. Bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis was performed in 40.6% of patients with a single ventricle. Postoperative follow-up results were studied in 96.8% of patients.
Conclusion. The use of a modified left subclavian-pulmonary anastomosis according to Blalock-Taussig is the optimal palliative procedure in children with depleted pulmonary blood flow. This surgery is performed to prepare the patient for subsequent correction of a complex heart defect and allows the right pulmonary artery to be preserved intact for future use during radical or hemodynamic correction of the defect.
