a) Three-dimensional image of the Potts shunt (blue arrow) using Volume Rendering Technique. The proximal end of the conduit was attached to the main pulmonary artery and the distal end was anastomosed to the aorta. b) Pulmonary oedema (red arrow) after Potts shunt procedure originated from large collateral bronchial vessels (yellow arrow). Coronal chest computed tomography image with a maximal intensity projection of 3 mm. c) Per cent difference in right ventricle ejection fraction (RVEF), 6-min walking distance (6MWD), maximal (max) load during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), oxygen pulse during CPET and maximal oxygen uptake (V′O2max) during CPET. Per cent difference measured between 1 month prior to surgery and 1 year after surgery. MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
