Patent Ductus Arteriosus with Persistent Pulmonary Artery Hypertension after Transcatheter Closure

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2016.220
Synopsis: 
After occlusion of PDA with PAH, PAH can be persistent in some patients. We conducted this study to observe the change of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of patients with persistent pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) after patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion. Results showed that some patients with borderline hemodynamic data with PDA and PAH can deteriorate or keep sustained PAH after PDA closure. The treatment of permanent closure to these patients must be cautious.
