Feasibility of VSD Closure and Debanding Without Pulmonary Artery Patch Repair in VSD Patients After PA Banding.

From 2004 to 2008, 64 infants with large ventricular septal defects were managed using a two-stage surgical approach. In the first stage, banding of the main pulmonary trunk was performed. The defect was then repaired months later. Debanding of pulmonary artery was accomplished without the need for pulmonary artery reconstruction.
