We describe the first application in Greece of a telemetrically adjustable device for pulmonary artery banding (FloWatch-PAB device) in a 2-month-old baby, weighing 3.6 kg, with congenital heart disease (complete atrioventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension). The surgical application of the device was easy, the postoperative course of the patient was smooth, and the telemetric regulation of the device was simple and effective. We believe that the FloWatch-PAB device is suitable for most cases of pulmonary artery banding in congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension in infants and small children.
