Severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) rarely develops in children with an atrial septal defect (ASD), even those with a large defect. We herein report the case of a 27-year-old man with a moderate-sized secundum ASD and right ventricular failure due to severe PAH, which developed in his early teens. He was diagnosed as having a genetic mutation of the bone morphogenetic protein receptor-2 (BMPR2) gene and was successfully treated with bilateral lung transplantation with ASD path closure. In patients with congenital heart disease, a genetic analysis may provide information about the lifetime risk of developing PAH.
严重肺动脉高压(PAH)在患有房间隔缺损(ASD)的儿童中很少发生,即使是那些有大缺损的儿童。我们在此报告一例27岁男性病例,他患有中等大小的继发孔型ASD,并因严重PAH导致右心室衰竭,该病在他十几岁时就已出现。他被诊断为骨形态发生蛋白受体-2(BMPR2)基因发生基因突变,并通过双侧肺移植并关闭ASD通道获得成功治疗。对于先天性心脏病患者,基因分析可能会提供有关发生PAH终生风险的信息。
