Cardiac Shunt - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Intracardiac shunts can lead to embolic strokes particularly with right-to-left shunts and in the presence of a transvenous lead in the systemic circulation. In this case, the patient has a significant right-to-left shunt across the Fontan fenestration with a transvenous lead in
