Percutaneous Transhepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation in a Preterm Infant With Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection.

ABSTRACT: A male preterm infant with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection developed progressive respiratory distress but was considered too high risk for surgical repair because of his critical condition. We demonstrated that percutaneous transhepatic stent implantation for portosystemic shunt creation is a feasible bridging procedure when surgery is not possible.
