A pre-term baby with complex congenital heart disease was operated upon for construction of Blalock-Taussig (B-T) Shunt. Soon after surgery the upper limb became blanched and cold. Despite conservative measures to improve circulation, limb ischaemia progressively worsened and resulted in fore quarter gangrene.
