Sano shunt

Sano shunt
Diagram of the human heart. In the Sano shunt, circulation is diverted from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.
[edit on Wikidata]

A Sano shunt is a shunt from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In contrast to a Blalock–Taussig shunt, circulation is primarily in systole.^{[citation needed]}

It is sometimes used as the first step in a Norwood procedure.^{[citation needed]}

This procedure was pioneered by the Japanese cardiothoracic surgeon Shunji Sano [ja] in 2003.^[4]
