Fig. 2C —Aortopulmonary shunt. Sketch shows central shunt, in which
prosthetic graft material (gray) is inserted between ascending aorta
and main pulmonary artery. Amount of shunt flow is controlled by size of graft
(usually 4–5 mm in diameter). This procedure prevents distortion of
pulmonary arteries and allows symmetric blood flow and growth.
