[An aneurysm in a balloon-catheter-dilated Blalock-Taussig fistula].
The development of aneurysm at the Blalock-Taussig shunt, dilated two years before is described. It is rounded with a diameter of 19 mm. and located at the junction of the right subclavian artery and the right pulmonary artery, that is, at the site of previous balloon dilatation. We think that the pathogenesis is the same as that of the aortic aneurysms which develop after the balloon catheter dilation at the same level. The actual prognosis is unknown being an undescribed pathology.
