“…However, this technique cannot be considered to be a well-established procedure because of controversial results and relatively small clinical experience. Experience with stent fenestratration of the atrial septum is very limited and does not exceed 15 interventions at one particular institution [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] ( Table 1).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze results of stenting atrioseptostomy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and a different level of risk for one-year mortality that is not well described. Patients that underwent atrioseptostomy with stenting were retrospectively divided in two groups: “intermediate” (n = 55) or “high” risk (n = 13), according to the 2015 ESC/ESR guideline. Results of atrioseptostomy were assessed during hospital period and at follow-up. Patients from “intermediate” risk group demonstrated lower mortality rate (10/55, vs. 6/13) during the course of the study period, as well as higher freedom from lung transplantation or Potts shunt. At discharge, patients of both groups presented improvement in functional class and mobility. Patients from “intermediate” risk group showed longer 6-min walking distance, and lower levels of brain natriuretic peptide. At the latest follow-up, stable position and full patency of stents with right-to-left or bidirectional shunt at atrial level and absence of syncope was confirmed in patients of both groups. Patients from the “intermediate” risk group demonstrated higher functional class, better performance of walking test, and lower levels of brain natriuretic peptide. Stenting atrioseptostomy reliably secured interatrial communication and improved clinical condition in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Mid-term results were better in “intermediate” risk group.
