ABSTRACT
Primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PPH) follows a rapid clinical deterioration and has high mortality. In spite of progress in medical treatment, lung transplantation or heart-lung transplantation is the best therapeutic option, and atrial septostomy is indicated when there is not other therapeutic option or as a step for lung transplant.
Atrial septostomy is a palliative treatment for patients with PPH. The haemodynamic effects are: increase of cardiac output, cardiac index, and systemic oxygen transport; it decreases oxygen saturation and this can promote right ventricle ischemia, worsening right ventricular failure; and diminishes right atrial pressure, improving systemic venous congestion, ascitis and peripheral oedema.
Unilateral lung transplantation, bilateral lung transplantation and heart-lung transplantation are the best treatment for patients with PPH. A patient is considered ready for transplantation when he has a poor life expectancy and life quality but he is a good physical condition; he could survive the surgical procedure.
Thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension has very bad prognosis, proportional to the degree of pulmo nary hypertension. Thromboendarterectomy is indicated with pulmonary vascular resistance › 300dinas/s/cm
-5. y ‹ 500dinas/s/cm
-5. Most of the patients improve clinical and hemodynamically after the surgical procedure, normalizing pulmonary pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, 62% of the patients has a normal life.
