[Risks and results of banding surgery (author's transl)].
A Muller-Dammann banding operation was performed in 64 infants and small children within 5 years. The diagnosis and the surgical risk (between 5.9% and 65% depending on the degree of intracardial malformation) were presented. Complications and cause of death were described and compared with data presented in the literature. Twenty-three patients were given a follow-up examination with special cardiac diagnostic methods. The hemodynamic results were compared with those from 9 children who were operated on late. As other authors, were also found a pronounced reduction in pulmonary flow in those children operated on early and not in those operated on late.
