Pulmonary Artery Banding is Still a Valuable Option

[摘要] 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 challenging and PAB remains an option.
