Abstract

Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt thrombosis is a life-threatening event. We describe an extremely rare catheter-induced shunt thrombosis in an infant with complex CHD and its successful treatment utilising a single low dose of local recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in conjunction with balloon angioplasty.
