An Unusual Late Complication of Pulmonary Artery Banding

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

An unusual case is reported in which severe cyanosis developed many months following banding of the pulmonary artery. The obstruction resulted from a thrombus which originated beneath the band and eventually almost completely occluded the main pulmonary artery. The late onset of severe cyanosis following a banding procedure should suggest this rare complication and prompt definitive hemodynamic and angiographic studies.
