Abstract
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease has no definitive cure apart from lung transplant. The reverse Potts shunt can be a palliative bridge to transplant. A post-arrest 14-year-old with severe pulmonary veno-occlusive disease on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was decannulated after reverse Potts shunt and survived to lung transplant. Reverse Potts shunt should be considered as a rescue in select patients with end-stage pulmonary veno-occlusive disease.
