Thrombolysis with percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty of a blocked modified Blalock-Taussig shunt

Transcatheter balloon recanalization of occluded Blalock-Taussig shunts in the early post-operative period has been reported in the past but there are issues regarding the role of thrombolysis in this situation. We present our experience with such a procedure in an infant with blocked modified Blalock-Taussig shunt.
