Trial of Right Ventricular Versus Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt in Infants With Single Ventricle Defect Undergoing Staged Reconstruction (A Trial Conducted by the Pediatric Heart Network)

Carelon Research·interventional·Posted Jun 27, 2005·Updated Mar 11, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Blalock-Taussig pulmonary artery shunt and Right ventricular to pulmonary artery shunt for Heart Defects, Congenital. Completed, enrolled 555 participants across 13 sites in 2 countries.

Detailed Summary

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) compared to the right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-to-PA) shunt; compare the effect of the MBTS to that of the RV-to-PA shunt on the incidence of death or cardiac transplantation at 12 months post randomization; and compare the effect of the two shunts on intensive care unit (ICU) morbidity, unintended cardiovascular interventional procedures, right ventricular function, tricuspid valve regurgitation, pulmonary artery growth, and neurodevelopmental outcome.
