| Abstract: | Acute modified Blalock-Tuassig shunt obstruction due to thrombosis may be lifethreatening. We report non-invasive relief of shunt obstruction with thrombolysis and heparinisation, a potentially life-saving intervention that is applicable in all settings, including outside tertiary paediatric cardiology centres. |
