Patients having undergone a modified Blalock Taussig Shunt procedure (MBTS) have either the left (acronym LMBTS) or right (acronym RMBTS) pulmonary artery connected to the corresponding subclavian or carotid artery with a tube graft.
The classical BTS (acronym CBTS) involved dividing either a subclavian or carotid artery and reconnecting it onto the ipsilateral pulmonary artery.
