I was told I may be the oldest person living with an o'Potts shunt. I'm 46 and hope to find some one else out there.
Hi Jeffery.....try this site........this is just a little excerpt of this paper.....I didn't read the whole thing.....
The Potts shunt is a novel alternative technique for decompressing the right ventricle without significant upper body cyanosis. It is a surgical technique in which a side-to-side anastomosis is created from the left pulmonary artery to the descending aorta, resulting in a right-to-left shunt.Feb 5, 2015

HI Sarah
I Googled my condition. I have not found any information on anyone still livin with the O' Potts shunt.
Everything I have found says the had the fontan surgery .
When I was born in 1971 the fontan was not developed. I'm 46 now and I still have the O'Potts shunt.
I'm hope I can find more information sometime soon.
