We infused intraarterial streptokinase immediately after balloon angioplasty due to the irregular contour seen in angiograms on the pulmonary side of the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. Although we had planned to give 24 000 U streptokinase in 30 minutes, we discontinued the infusion after observing complete patency in angiograms after the half dose of streptokinase (12 000 U).

In conclusion, we presented an 11 months old patient with acute modified Blalock-Taussig shunt occlusion, who was successfully treated with balloon angioplasty and intraarterial streptokinase.
