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.
