Telemetrically 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 کاملPulmonary Artery Banding is Still a Valuable Option
In this work, Corno (1) presents long-term outcomes in a small group of patients with multiple ventricular septal defects treated with adjustable pulmonary artery banding (PAB). The results were satisfactory, with few complications. Despite recent progress in pediatric cardiac surgery, surgical management of very small babies with true Swiss cheese septum and cardiac failure is still challengin...
متن کاملPii: S1569-9293(02)00014-2
The main problem encountered in pulmonary artery banding is the difficulty in determining the optimal perimeter of the band, and sometime repeated surgical operations are required to adjust the band perimeter in order to control the pulmonary blood flow. To overcome these difficulties EndoArt S.A. (Lausanne, Switzerland) developed an externally adjustable, telemetrically controlled device for p...
