Indications, Results and Mortality of Pulmonary Artery Banding Procedure: a Brief Review and Five- year Experiences
Authors
Abstract:
Background Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a technique of palliative surgical therapy used by congenital heart surgeons as a staged approach to operative correction of congenital heart defects. Materials and Methods We report 5- year experiences from January 2011 to January 2016 of Imam Reza Hospital center (a tertiary referral hospital in Mashhad city, North East of Iran) that consist of 50 patients with congenital heart disease with left to right shunt that pulmonary artery banding procedure was performed for them were studied. Results Age of patients (n=50) was 1to 9 months (mean=4.6 + 1.3). In this study, the most common disease that need to PAB procedure was Ventricular septal defect (VSD) with twenty-eight patients (56%). Mean of extubation time (hour) was 10.4 + 0.8 and mean of hospital stay (day) was 13.3 + 2.4 respectively. Conclusion Although the number of pulmonary artery banding palliation surgery was decreased, but in selected group of congenital heart disease, this palliation to reduce over circulation of Pulmonary system, can use successfully with acceptable results and low mortality. We suggest pulmonary artery banding palliative surgery in these selected patients.

Background Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular defect that occurs in approximately 1/300 000 live births or 0.5% of children with congenital heart disease. There are two types of ALCAPA syndrome: the infant type and the adult type. The most infants experience myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure, and approximately 9...

BANDING of the pulmonary artery has been proposed as a therapeutic procedure for patients with a large left-to-right shunt and pulmonary artery hypertension not amenable to complete correction. It was theorized that by increasing the resistance to outflow from the right ventricle, and thus lowering the pulmonary artery pressure, the size of the left-to-right shunt would diminish, the high outpu...

The results of banding of the pulmonary artery in 111 children with cardiac malformations associated with excessive pulmonary blood flow are presented. Thirty-three of these children died, eleven either of late band complications or after a corrective operation. Patients with ventricular septal defect represent the largest group of malformation among the 111 patients. The overall mortality for ...
