Initial Results and Long-Term Follow-up of Percutaneous Mitral Valvuloplasty in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
2017, Heart Lung and CirculationCitation Excerpt :Braunwald et al. reported 31 surgical patients with PAH who underwent a postoperative decrease from 75 to 39 mmHg of PASP [6]. Zener et al., analysing 27 patients with MS and PASP >100 mmHg, also have observed a decrease from 115 to 50 mmHg after surgery [28]. Although the passive component of pulmonary hypertension decreased immediately after the procedure, the regression of pulmonary vascular resistance took more time [29].

2012, Heart Failure ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Mixed PH (ie, mixed pre- and postcapillary PH), otherwise known in the literature as “reactive” PH, results from the presence of chronic pulmonary venous hypertension in the setting of LHF, which then leads to pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling.3–8 This type of PH is characterized by an increased PCWP greater than 15 mm Hg (often >18 mm Hg), PVR to 3.0 WU or more, and a TPG of 12 to 15 mm Hg or greater.9–12 The condition is often described in patients with mitral or aortic valve disease requiring surgery or in patients with advanced heart failure being considered for heart transplantation.
