Persistence of pulmonary arterial hypertension after relief of left sided obstructive lesions in small infants: our experience

Tomar Munesh Medanta – The Medicity.India Images in Paediatric CardiologyImages Paediatr Cardiol 2017;DOI Not Available AbstractBackground: Infants with critical left sided obstructive lesions usually present with left ventricle dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Left ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary artery pressures usually normalize after relief of obstruction. In some, PAH persists despite adequate relief of obstruction.Patients
