Who is a good or bad candidate for this therapy? Is there an advantage to placement of a valve in the shunt? Does this form of palliation affect lung transplant eligibility? We speak with the first author of this week's paper, Dr. R. Mark Grady, Professor of Pediatrics at Washington University. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2021.05.039.
