Abstract
The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is the most commonly performed systemic to pulmonary artery shunt in children with cyanotic heart disease. Nowadays the approach has shifted from palliative procedures to earlier total correction. But modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is still a lifesaving procedure in cases with severe hypoplastic pulmonary arteries and concomittant coronary artery anomalies which disallow total correction. Here, we present a case with tetralogy of Fallot, mirror image aorta, right aortic arch and coronary artery anomaly. An intrapericardial left subclavian to left pulmonary artery shunt, which is a very rare entity, was performed with sternotomy.

Abstract
Modifiye Blalock-Taussig şant siyanotik kalp hastalıklarında en sık kullanılan sistemik pulmoner arter şantıdır. Günümüzde yaklaşım palyatif prosedürlerden, erken tüm düzeltmeye kaymıştır. Ancak modifiye Blalock-Taussig şant halen tüm düzeltmeye engel olan koroner arter anomalili ciddi hipoplastik arterli olgularda hayat kurtarıcı bir prosedürdür. Biz, burada Fallot tetralojili, sağ arkus aorta, ayna görüntüsü aortalı ve koroner arter anomalili bir hastayı sunuyoruz. Bu hastaya sternotomi ile nadir bir yaklaşım olan intraperikardiyal sol subklavyen-pulmoner arter şantı yapılmıştır.
