Pulmonary hypertension after operations for congenital heart disease: analysis of risk factors and management

Abstract

Management of pulmonary hypertension, a potentially fatal complication of operations to correct congenital heart disease, has evolved through the last 15 years. Monitoring of pulmonary arterial pressure and mixed venous saturation became available, and prophylactic use of alpha-blockers and other vasodilators increased. This study examines risk factors for morbidity and mortality from pulmonary hypertension after operations to correct congenital heart disease and evaluates the impact of management changes on outcomes. By means of multivariable logistic regression analysis, 880 high-risk patients with congenital heart disease (of 2484 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass between January 1980 and December 1994) were analyzed to determine which were at risk for postoperative pulmonary hypertension and its associated morbidity and mortality. Patients with atrioventricular canal (n = 182), truncus arteriosus (n = 47), total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (n = 90), transposition of great arteries (n = 97), hypoplastic left heart syndrome (n = 50), and ventricular septal defect (n = 414) demonstrated a higher risk of postoperative pulmonary hypertension. By multivariable logistic regression, preoperative pulmonary hyperte...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
