| 1. | Adjustable pulmonary artery banding has been available since 1972, allowing variable constriction.
|
| 2. | The pressure in the pulmonary artery tries to close the pulmonary valve.
|
| 3. | The pulmonary valve is located at the base of the pulmonary artery.
|
| 4. | All other distributions falling below the pulmonary artery are termed " hyparterial"
|
| 5. | Together, this causes vascular remodeling and narrowing of the pulmonary arteries.
|
| 6. | These arterial monitors do not require intracardiac catheterisation from a pulmonary artery catheter.
|
| 7. | The truncus arteriosus splits into the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery.
|
| 8. | Blood travels through the right ventricle to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
|
| 9. | The band is wrapped around the main pulmonary artery and fixed into place.
|
| 10. | Two vessels, the left aorta and the pulmonary artery, exit the right ventricle.
