Pulmonary Hypertension in Trisomy 21 Patients

NCT00478296 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1

Last updated 2012-03-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Evidence has shown poor outcome for adult patients with pre-operative pulmonary hypertension following closure of an atrial septal defect. Life-threatening pulmonary hypertensive crises may occur in these patients when they no longer have an atrial communication to decompress high right heart pressures. This concern has led some to advocate fenestrated patch closure of ASDs in patients with pulmonary hypertension with the prospect of a repeated procedure in order to close the fenestrations at a later date.
