Sano shunt
Diagram of the human heart. In the Sano shunt, circulation is diverted from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.

A Sano shunt is a shunt from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.[1][2][3]

In contrast to a Blalock–Taussig shunt, circulation is primarily in systole.[citation needed]

It is sometimes used as the first step in a Norwood procedure.[citation needed]

Diagram of a Sano shunt (orange) in hypoplastic left heart syndrome after Norwood Procedure. In the Sano shunt (or Right Ventricle-to-Pulmonary Artery shunt) the blood flows from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

This procedure was pioneered by the Japanese cardiothoracic surgeon Shunji Sano [ja] in 2003.[4]
