• Blalock Taussig (BT) shunt :

o classic : end to side subclavian to ipsilateral pulmonary arterial anastomosis
o modified : graft anastomsis

• Waterston shunt :

• Sano shunt : right ventricle to pulmonary artery

• bidirectional Glenn anastomosis : superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery end to side anastomosis

• Fontan procedure :

o original : right atrium to pulmonary artery
o fenestrated :

• intra atrial tunnel :

• pulmonary arterial banding :

• Rastelli procedure : tunnel from left ventricle to aorta through VSD
