Percutaneous interventional therapies for the treatment of patients with severe pulmonary hypertension
Abstract
Despite improvements in medical therapy, the overall prognosis of patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension remains poor. Heart-lung transplantation or bilateral lung transplantation is the final pathway for a minority. This paper describes both established and novel percutaneous interventional techniques that may palliate or bridge pulmonary hypertension patients to transplantation.
