Bangkok Hospital offers advanced Blalock-Thomas-Taussig Shunt (BT Shunt) surgery using modern pediatric cardiac surgical techniques and internationally accepted treatment protocols. Established in 1972, the JCI hospital is located in Bangkok, Thailand and has 580 beds, providing comprehensive congenital heart care for local and international patients.

A Blalock-Thomas-Taussig Shunt (BT Shunt) is a palliative cardiac procedure used in selected children with cyanotic congenital heart defects that result in inadequate pulmonary blood flow. The procedure creates an additional pathway for blood to flow from a systemic artery to the pulmonary arteries, thereby increasing blood flow to the lungs and improving oxygenation. Before surgery, children undergo detailed cardiac evaluation, including echocardiography and other imaging or catheter-based studies when required. Ongoing cardiac monitoring is essential after the procedure.
