Hydraulic Remotely Adjustable Pulmonary Artery Banding
Each year approximately 2000 children are born with a form of congenital heart disease that would benefit from mechanical restriction, or banding, of the pulmonary artery. [1,2] Installing or changing the setup of the banding requires an open chest surgery and during the first 6 months of the patient’s life, physiological parameters evolve rapidly, resulting in need for frequent reoperations. M...
متن کاملTelemetrically adjustable pulmonary artery banding: first application in Greece.
We describe the first application in Greece of a telemetrically adjustable device for pulmonary artery banding (FloWatch-PAB device) in a 2-month-old baby, weighing 3.6 kg, with congenital heart disease (complete atrioventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension). The surgical application of the device was easy, the postoperative course of the patient was smooth, and the telemetric reg...
متن کاملA Study on the Mortality and Complication Rates Following Percutaneously Adjustable Pulmonary Artery Banding
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary artery (PA) banding is a procedure associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. It however can effectively palliate several forms of congenital heart lesions with increased pulmonary flow. Occasionally, to obtain an optimal degree of banding following operation, readjustment of the band is inevitable. We describe the technique of adjustable PA banding to prevent th...
متن کاملPulmonary blood flow distribution after banding of pulmonary artery.
Radioisotope lung scanning was used to investigate the distribution of pulmonary blood flow after banding of the pulmonary artery in children with a left-to-right shunt and pulmonary hypertension. An abnormal distribution of blood flow in the lung on the side of the operation approach was observed in all patients in the first three weeks following surgery. Abnormalities were still observed in 1...
