Bilateral pulmonary artery banding with ligation clips: A novel technique resistant to residual stenosis

Usefulness of Percutaneous Transluminal Pulmonary Artery Balloon Angioplasty after Bilateral Pulmonary Artery Banding: Prevention against Additional Surgical Interventions

“…Although the surgical outcomes of the Norwood operation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and its variants have dramatically improved in recent years, bilateral pulmonary artery banding is generally performed in high-risk neonates as a less invasive hybrid stage 1 palliation because it avoids neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass [8,10,11]. High-risk neonates undergoing the stage 1 Norwood procedure have a mortality rate of approximately 10% to 20% [12].…”

Efficacy and safety of percutaneous transluminal balloon dilation to prevent progression of banding site stenosis after bilateral pulmonary artery banding

“…This report describes a risk‐based strategy for the management of HLHS and cAS. Bil‐PAB is a feasible therapeutic option for high‐risk neonates with severe congenital heart diseases such as HLHS, cAS, and some forms of univentricular heart because it minimizes invasiveness and avoids a cardiopulmonary bypass . In neonates, cardiopulmonary bypass has some morbidity that results from immaturity and organ fragility, which could cause brain injury and may also result in severely impaired motor and neurodevelopmental outcomes .…”

Successful Truncal Valve Replacement With a Mechanical Valve After Bilateral Pulmonary Artery Banding

“…Nitrogen inhalation was initiated due to pulmonary overcirculation. On postpartum day 3, BPAB was performed using ligation clips (Horizon clip ML; Teleflex Medical Inc, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina) as reported elsewhere 5 (postbanding right pulmonary artery 1.3 mm; left pulmonary artery 1.3 mm). On postpartum day 14, readjustment of the pulmonary artery banding was needed due to arterial desaturation.…”
