چکیده

Circumferential banding of the main pulmonary artery has been widedly used as a palliative procedure in such cases.3 This report concerns a previously undescribed complication of this useful operative procedure. Approximately 22 months after an apparently successful banding procedure, a thrombus developed in the main pulmonary artery and produced almost complete occlusion of the lumen beneath the band.
