Hemodynamic and histologic evaluation of the pulmonary vascular bed and clinical outcome in children with congenital heart disease (CHD): Is there a gold standard?
Pulmonary hypertension after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)
We reported the case of a patient in whom severe, and ultimately fatal,
pulmonary hypertension developed 1.5 yrs after transjugular intrahepatic
portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Pulmonary artery pressures were not affected
by 100% oxygen, prostacyclin or nifedipine. Postmortem examinations showed
pulmonary and vascular abnormalities typical of pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary artery pressures should be measured in each patient with
otherwise not readily explained dyspnoea following transjugular
intrahepatic portosystemic shunt
