1. The Blalock-Taussig shunt in our patient was considerably dilated but there was some tapering at the site of anastomosis with the left pulmonary artery and in addition the aortic end was stenosed by the surgical ligature;Pommann, W.; Wierny, L.; Warnke, H.; Gerstberger, G.;Radiol Clin North Am; mm) the distal half of the shunt was filled by Romaniuk PA.

A possible problem with such valved balloons is the occurrence of early deflation. This is not the case when the balloon, as in the Debrun system, is filled with silicone polymer. When positioned and inflated they provide permanent;Barth, K.H.; White, Jr, R.I.; Kaufman, S.L.; Terry, P.B.
