Abstract While searching for options for dealing with the effects of such complex congenital heart problems -mainly desaturation- it was observed that patients with complex cardiac anomalies in addition to patent PDA have better blood oxygenation than those without patent PDA. Depending on the fact that arterial shunts could improve oxygen saturation and regarding the restrictions and complications of the Fontan procedure, the idea of performing an arterial shunt like MBT shunt in patients with BDG suffering from cyanosis came up. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 20 patients who underwent mBTS after BDG. We evaluated the mid and long-term effects of mBTS in those patients especially spo2 and echocardiographic findings. The study considered the ethical principles of the Helsinki Declaration approval from the research ethics committee at our institution (MS 510/2023) There was a significant increase in postoperative SpO2 in comparison to preoperative SpO2 (P <0.001) with a mean difference of 20.95%. |
