[Reabsorbable banding. Our initial experience].

Since May 1989 we have been using a reabsorbable 3 mm, polidioxanona band for pulmonary banding instead of the dacron one. This procedure was performed in 5 patients with ages between 33 to 230 days. The diagnoses were atrioventricular canal in one case and ventricular septal defect in the other 4 cases. One of them also had vascular ring with right aortic arch, left patent ductus arterious and aberrant subclavian artery. All the patients were in a poor condition. Subsequent reoperations performed in short, medium, and long term were uncomplicated, and the technique had the added benefit of avoiding the need for pulmonary reconstruction. A close ECO Doppler follow-up is necessary to determine the best moment for definitive correction. We think that this new technique makes the banding a reliable and complications free procedure and its place should be reevaluated in the light of the current tendency for early complete correction.

[Radiotherapy treatment under anesthesia in pediatrics].

A four-year-old boy received 30 sessions of radiotherapy, at a rate of one session daily for five days every week, under anesthesia with midazolam and propofol in spontaneous ventilation. Monitoring was by pulse oximetry and capnography; no adverse events were recorded. The presence of an anesthesiologist during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures outside the operating room is essential, given that lack of cooperation can make the procedure difficult or impossible to perform. Radiotherapy under anesthesia is a special case because it is scheduled daily, and care must be taken to interfere as little as possible with a child's meals or other activities.
