Calcification of the Pulmonary Artery: A Complication of the Banding Procedure

R. Parameswaran M.D.1; Vladir Maranhao M.D., F.C.C.P.1; Sariel G. G. Ablaza M.D., F.C.C.P.1; and Harry Goldberg M.D., F.C.C.P.1

Calcification of the pulmonary artery in the region of banding occurred in a patient with a ventricular septal defect. Although total surgical correction was performed, significant obstruction at the site of the banding persists. Calcification may compound the technical problem of "debanding," and by preventing reconstruction of the pulmonary artery, make prognosis unfavorable.
