title: [Systemic-pulmonary shunt with autologous internal jugular vein].
abstract: We report a variant of systemic-pulmonary shunt for newborns or low-weight neonates affected with hypoplasia or atresia of pulmonary artery. An autologous internal jugular vein was used. Six months after surgery all patients referred no symptoms and a normal systemic-pulmonary shunt with an arterial oxygenation of 82-90% was present.
