Pulmonary artery banding is safe and effective in infants and young children with end-stage DCM with preserved right ventricular function. Combined with conventional heart failure medication therapy, it may provide short-term benefits post-operatively, decrease the cardiogenic shock, and act as a bridge to recovery and potentially reduce the need for heart transplantation. Long-term effects remain further observation, and larger randomized controlled trials would be more persuasive in validating its efficacy.
