Three patients are presented who had life-threatening postoperative pulmonary hypertension after orthotopic heart transplantation. This pulmonary hypertension was unresponsive to standard therapy but responded dramatically to treatment with prostaglandin E1. The problem of evaluating and treating heart transplant patients with pulmonary hypertension and the role of prostaglandins are discussed.
