Development of significant pulmonary hypertension following orthotopic heart transplantation can result in death caused by irreversible right ventricular failure. Despite determination of acceptable preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance, this complication may still occur. This report illustrates the technique of right ventricular assist and concomitant infusion of intrapulmonary prostaglandin E1 for the treatment of postoperative right ventricular failure resulting from pulmonary hypertension.
原位心脏移植后发生严重肺动脉高压可导致不可逆的右心室衰竭而死亡。尽管术前已确定可接受的肺血管阻力，但这种并发症仍可能发生。本报告阐述了右心室辅助及同时输注肺内前列腺素E1治疗肺动脉高压所致术后右心室衰竭的技术。
