Dilatable pulmonary artery band: Safety and efficacy of balloon dilatation

Review early and midterm results of dilatable pulmonary artery band (PAB). Background: PAB is performed in various conditions: as a transient stage before ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure, as a palliative procedure for multiple VSD or to prepare the left ventricle (LV) before switch or double switch operations in transposition of the great artery (TGA) or congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (CCTGA).
