Abstract

Retraining of the left ventricle in congenitally corrected TGA or after Senning or Mustard operation is necessary when right-ventricular failure is developing and an arterial switch operation is indicated. As these hearts have little tolerance of marginal overbanding, a long-term adjustable pulmonary artery banding device would lower stress and risk of training. Although the inserted device (Osypka^™) allowed convenient intraoperative pressure ratio adjustment, mid-term adjustment failed due to dysfunction of the System.
