Sano shunt

A Sano shunt is a shunt from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.

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.
