Pulmonary artery banding is facilitated by simultaneously measuring the pressure above and below the band. This can be accomplished with a commercially available double-lumen central venous pressure monitoring catheter. This catheter is inserted through the outflow tract of the right ventricle and positioned so that the band will be between the two lumens. Gradual tightening of the band can be accomplished while monitoring the pressures proximal and distal to the band.
