Pulmonary Artery Banding (PAB)
Pulmonary artery banding is a relatively uncomplicated surgical technique used to manage specific congenital heart conditions characterized by excessive blood flow to the lungs.
In this procedure, a band or ring is placed around the pulmonary artery, which is the blood vessel leading from the heart to the lungs. This banding effectively reduces the amount of blood that can flow into the pulmonary circulation.
The primary goal of pulmonary artery banding is to alleviate the burden on the lungs and prevent potential complications associated with excessive blood flow. By narrowing the pulmonary artery, the procedure helps maintain a more balanced circulation of blood throughout the heart, promoting better overall cardiac function.
Symptoms
Symptoms of heart-related issues may include:
- Chest pain.
- Neck pain.
- Chest pressure.
- Abdominal swelling.
- Shortness of breath.
When to access Medical Care
Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a palliative surgical procedure employed to address specific congenital heart defects characterized by excessive blood flow to the lungs due to left-to-right shunting. This surgical intervention is selectively used in a particular subset of infants with complex congenital heart conditions to manage pulmonary overcirculation.
Determinants of risk
Risk factors for heart disease include:
- Age.
- Elevated cholesterol levels.
- Smoking.
- Poor dietary habits.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
