title: Banding of Nonrestrictive Large Hypertensive Aortopulmonary Collaterals in Patients With Ventricular Septal Defect and Pulmonary Atresia Presenting in Suboptimal Condition.
abstract: Infants with pulmonary atresia and nonrestrictive ventricular septal defect with large hypertensive aortopulmonary collaterals demand early surgical intervention. This presentation in the extremely low-weight child or in the moribund septic child may preclude single-stage repair even if anatomically suited. We propose that such infants may be temporized by means of banding of individual aortopulmonary collaterals as a means of bridging to a second-stage complete repair. Two such cases are presented.
