The performing of a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shut (modified Blalock-Taussig) with (polytetrafluoroethylene) tubular grafts is a palliative procedure used frequently in congenital heart disease with obstruction of pulmonary blood flow.
The development of serinoma surrounding the graft is an unusual complication of this procedure. We present a nine months old patient that develop right pleural effusion associated to this entity, that decreased spontaneously with persistence of the radiological image of the serinoma at two years follow up.
