Abstract
A 34-year-old woman presented with original Blalock Taussig shunt and
tetralogy of Fallot. The anastomosis site of the original
Blalock--Taussig shunt revealed stenosis and severe cyanosis. A central
shunt was performed with 6mm artificial vessel, not a radical operation.
After surgery, the cyanosis improved as intended.
