Pulmonary hypertension in bronchopulmonary dysplasia: Clinical findings, cardiovascular anomalies and outcomes

Abstract: PH in BPD is not always a transient condition; it can be diagnosed at later stages and can have a protracted course. The incidence of associated CVAs is high. Prompt diagnosis, detection, and treatment of CVAs, and specific drug therapy can improve the outcome in these patients, although the mortality rate remains high.

“…Currently, premature birth is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 years, affecting 1 in 10 births and representing z15 million births per year worldwide (1)(2)(3)(4). In its most severe form, BPD can result in secondary cardiovascular sequelae such as pulmonary hypertension (PH) that persist into adulthood and abnormal ventilatory response (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Despite advances in clinical ventilator management, the introduction of surfactant, and antenatal glucocorticoids, there is a marked lack of adjunctive therapies.…”

“…Del Cerro el al evaluó 29 pacientes con DBP, en los cuales se le realizó TC a 21 pacientes y cateterización cardiaca a 14, evidenciándose anomalías cardiovasculares en 2/3 de los pacientes, incluyendo colaterales aortopulmonares, estenosis de vena pulmonar, ductus arterioso persistente y defecto de septum atrial, algunas de estas difíciles de evaluar o pesquisar por medio de la ecocardiografía. Estos autores recomiendan su uso en todo RN que persista con HP moderada o severa a los 2 meses de vida 10 .…”

“…This occurs in several settings: idiopathic, in prematurely born infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, after surgical repair of anomalously connected pulmonary veins (including those not obstructed at time of repair), in patients with congenital heart defects without anomalous pulmonary vein connection, and under other circumstances. 19,20,[23][24][25] It seems unlikely that a single stenotic pulmonary vein can cause significant PH, 26 although manifest obstruction of one or more pulmonary veins in one lung can exist with occult obstruction of small veins in the contralateral lung, and additional obstructed veins can develop over time. 27 ii) Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease.…”
