hi there tina, charlie had a band put on his pulmonary artery, when he was 8 weeks old to stop the blood that wasn't being pumped round his heart properly from flooding his lungs until he had his repair done, then it was removed when the repair was done , not sure if this is the same thing your talking about but it sounds very similar, i know it is quite common for babies that are not otherwise ready for their repair, it is called a pulmonary artery banding.hope this helps . love shell,charlie and jasmin xxxxxxxxxxx
