  2. Sano shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sano_shunt

    A Sano shunt is a shunt from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation. [1] [2] [3] In contrast to a Blalock–Taussig shunt, circulation is primarily in systole. [citation needed] It is sometimes used as the first step in a Norwood procedure. [citation needed] This procedure was pioneered by the Japanese cardiothoracic surgeon Shunji ...

    The most common shunts are the Modified Blalock Taussig shunt (MBTS) or right ventricle- to pulmonary artery shunt (RVPA or Sano shunt). Most patients who undergo a Norwood procedure will proceed to further stages of single ventricle palliation. A second surgery, also known as the Glenn procedure, occurs at 4–6 months of age.

    Currently, infants undergo either the staged reconstructive surgery (Norwood or Sano procedure within a few days of birth, Glenn or Hemi-Fontan procedure at 3 to 6 months of age, and the Fontan procedure at 1 1/2 to 5 years of age) or cardiac transplantation. [10] Current expectations are that 70% of those with HLHS may reach adulthood. [18]

    In a stage 1 Norwood procedure for hypoplastic right heart, the main pulmonary artery is separated from the left and right portions of the pulmonary artery and joined with the upper portion of the aorta. The proximal pulmonary artery is connected to the aortic arch, while the narrowed segment of the pulmonary trunk is repaired.

    The incidence of univentricular heart malformations is estimated at 0.1 to 0.4 per 1,000 live births. [3] In the neonatal period, these patients depend on an aortopulmonary shunt that is maintained medically with prostaglandin and then surgically with an initial cardiac shunt procedure.
