Fig 1 Trends in mean arterial pressure (MAP) 48 hours before and after placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands (bPAB) for each patient. Eight of 10 patients had an increase in the average mean arterial pressure after placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands.

Fig 2 Trends in coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) 48 hours before and after placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands (bPBA) for 8 of 10 patients. Coronary perfusion pressure was not calculated for 2 patients without central venous pressure monitoring. Six of 8 patients had an increase in the average coronary perfusion pressure after placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands.

Fig 3 Peak serum creatinine before placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands (bPBA) and day before second surgery for each patient. Nine of 10 patients had a fall in the creatinine after placement of bilateral pulmonary artery bands. Patient 2 had intraatrial stent placement complicated by hemopericardium, receiving 6 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on day before bilateral pulmonary artery banding.
