title: Modified Damus-Kaye-Stansel Procedure Subsequent to Pulmonary Artery Banding.
abstract: Both the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure and pulmonary artery banding provide an effective palliative technique in certain subsets of patients, but this combination of procedures is potentially hazardous in pulmonary valve geometry. This is a matter of vital concern, especially in patients whose pulmonary arteries have to work after operations as the major systemic output routes. In this report, we present a novel surgical modification that builds a systemic output route without causing valve deformities.
