| Abstract [eng] |
After successful surgical repair of a congenital shunt lesion, pulmonary hypertension (PH) often disappears. However, PH can persist long-term after the closure. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of PH long-term after surgical repair of congenital heart disease (CHD), and to evaluate the outcomes and preoperative factors related to residual PH. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed patients who underwent right heart catheterisation in Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos during the period of 1985–2007. |
