Inhaled nitric oxide in children with pulmonary hypertension and congenital mitral stenosis

The American Journal of Cardiology
A M AtzD L Wessel

Abstract

We demonstrated selective pulmonary vasodilation in patients with congenital mitral stenosis with inhaled NO, and used NO as prolonged therapy to stabilize the postintervention course of these children. The pulmonary vasoreactivity was greater than that previously reported in adults and may be due to particular sensitivity of pulmonary veins to inhaled NO when pulmonary venous hypertension has been present since birth.
