چکیده
S INCE THE ORIGINAL CLINICAL REPORT of Muller and Dammann in 1952,’ the use of pulmonary artery banding in small infants with congestive heart failure due to large ventricular septal defects has been widely recognized and used as a beneficial, palliative procedure of reasonable risk.2’ Only limited clinical information is available concerning the use of banding in the treatment of other types of congenital heart disease associated with low vascular resistance and high pulmonary blood flow.6” Additionally, the immediate determination of the ideal or even an adequate degree of banding at the surgical table continues to be a serious problem in the uniform success of this procedure. During the past four years, we have had experience with pulmonary banding in 14 infants with congenital heart disease other than ventricular septal defect and in ten of these infants have used a technic for pulmonary artery banding in which the end point of constriction was based on changes in pulmonary arterial and systemic arterial oxygen saturation. The results of banding of these infants and an evaluation of the accuracy of arterial saturation as an aid in the determination of a critical degree of banding are the subjects of this report.

Experience with patients undergoing pulmonary artery banding for control of substantial left-toright shunt associated with large ventricular septal defects has been reviewed in order to assess the effects of banding and the growth patterns of the subjects in relation to changes in cardiac loading. The series covers a periodfrom I960 through I968. All 22 infants studied had large ventricular sep...

The fourth case of spontaneous closure of a ventricular septal defect in a patient having prior pulmonary artery banding is reported. Statistics to date indicate that yenfricular septal defects in patients who require banding may close with lesser frequency than those for which banding is not required. The apparent lower incidence of spontaneous closure of these defects should not Influence the...

INFANTS born with interventricular septal defects may encounter little difficulty during the first year of life. Although a number develop varying degrees of cardiac failure, most of these respond to digitalization so that by the end of the first year retarded growth and cardiac failure are no longer significant problems. A few, however, within the first weeks of life, develop cardiac failure t...

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
