Summary

A seven-month-old boy with severe respiratory distress because of absence of the leaflets of the pulmonary valve underwent banding of the pulmonary trunk. Postoperative recovery was uneventful with dramatic improvement of his general and hemodynamic status. Repair was performed successfully almost two years later when the child had grown satisfactorily and was in stable condition.
