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 کاملEarly clinical results of the telemetric adjustable pulmonary artery banding FloWatch-PAB.
BACKGROUND Adjustment of pulmonary artery banding (PAB) may be a challenging procedure in complex congenital heart defects. Whatever the technique used, subsequent re-operations are frequently needed to control the pulmonary blood flow or pressures. OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy of a new telemetric adjustable PAB (FloWatch-PAB) operated with the help of an external control unit that transm...

INTRODUCTION A multicenter prospective study was conducted to evaluate a new strategy for multiple Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2004 to 2012 17 consecutive children (3 premature, 14 infants), mean age 3.2 months (9 days-9 months), mean body weight 4.2 kg (3.1-6.1 kg), with multiple VSDs underwent Pulmonary Artery Banding (PAB) with an adjustable FloWatch-PAB(®...
متن کاملUse of a new implantable adjustable pulmonary artery banding device: a report of two patients.
Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a method for reducing pulmonary artery blood flow and pressure by tying a surgical band around the main pulmonary artery (MPA). Originally, the procedure was primarily performed to palliate intracardiac left to right shunts for ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Currently, the use of PAB has expanded to allow it to be used in ventricular training, prior to tota...
