Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Left Main Disease with Idiopathic Artery Pulmonary Hypertension. Role of PGE Therapy
Journal Title: Archives of Pulmonology and Respiratory Care - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease of unknown etiology that leads to the development of severe precapillary pulmonary hypertension [1-3], characterized by impaired regulation of both pulmonary hemodynamics and vascular growth.’ The responsiveness to vasodilator therapy in patients with PAH varies considerably [4,5]. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with extracorporeal circulation has a deleterious effect on lung tissues.
