PEDIATRIC AND CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE Original Studies Hybrid Approach to Surgical Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot in all Patients With Functioning Blalock Taussig Shunts

In total surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with functioning Blalock Taussig shunts (BTS), shunt take down increased surgical time, bleeding, and might injure phrenic and recurrent laryngeal nerve and thoracic duct.
