An 8-month-old infant presented with IRVH; in the patient, a modified Blalock\u2013Taussig (MBTS) shunt was closed percutaneously after spontaneous RV function recovery. A female newborn was diagnosed with differential cyanosis at birth. The echocardiography showed a hypertrophic RV with a small cavity, a right\u2013left shunt on the atrial septal defect, an almost closed ductus arteriosus (DA), and a small tricuspid valve ring (Z-score-2) with mild regurgitation (pressure gradient 30 mmHg). On the 4th day of life, the patient showed deepened cyanosis and hyperlactatemia was registered. The echocardiography examination revealed a closed DA. Right ventriculography performed on the 5th day of life evidenced the presence of a small hypertrabeculated RV. The pressure in the RV increased. A right-side MBTS was created on the 6th day of life. Further echocardiographic findings indicated a gradual development of the RV and a decrease in RV pressure. MBTS occlusion was performed when the patient was 8 months old. Vital parameters were monitored invasively and noninvasively after the balloon occlusion of MBTS. Percutaneous MBTS occlusion was successfully performed using an Amplatzer vascular plug 2 (AVP2). During the follow-up period, the patient was found to have maintained a normal percutaneous oxyhaemoglobin blood saturation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd10110460","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,15]],"date-time":"2023-11-15T00:47:48Z","timestamp":1700009268000},"page":"460","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Percutaneous Modified Blalock\u2013Taussig Shunt Closure in a Patient with Isolated Right Ventricular Hypoplasia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3007-5631","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stasa","family":"Krasic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Department, Mother and Child Health Institute of Serbia, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Dizdarevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Surgery Department, Mother and Child Health Institute of Serbia, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lana","family":"Vranic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anesthesiology Department, Mother and Child Health Institute of Serbia, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7794-3520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dejan","family":"Ne\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Medical Physiology, University of Belgrade, Visegradska 26\/II, RS, 11129 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vladislav","family":"Vukomanovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Department, Mother and Child Health Institute of Serbia, 11070 Belgrade, Serbia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"848","DOI":"10.1148\/54.6.848","article-title":"Angiocardiography in congenital heart disease of cyanotic type.
