Surgical and Interventional Therapies for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Abstract: Surgical and interventional therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in appropriately selected patients have the potential to dramatically improve or, in some cases, cure PAH. These include atrial septostomy, a palliative procedure or bridge to transplantation in patients with refractory right heart failure, pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic thromboembolic disease, and closure of congenital systemic-pulmonary shunts in patients with PAH but without si… Show more

“…Dobutamine is the inotrope that has been the most extensively studied in the context of acute right-sided failure (see below), but other agents may be beneficial. In refractory right ventricular failure, early consideration of atrial septostomy (see below), heart or heart-lung transplantation, or right ventricular assist-device placement may be life-saving (47).…”

“…Still controversial in the nonurgent setting, atrial septostomy has a very high associated morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients with severe right ventricular failure (125)(126)(127). It should not be performed in patients with mean right atrial pressures of Ͼ20 mm Hg, significant hypoxemia, and a PVR index Ͼ4400 dynes sec/cm 5 per m 2 (47,127).…”
