Potts Shunt to Be Preferred Above Atrial Septostomy in Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients: A Modeling Study

Potts Shunt to Be Preferred Above Atrial Septostomy in Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients: A Modeling Study

Aims: To quantitatively evaluate the basic pathophysiological process involved in the creation of Eisenmenger syndrome in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients by either atrial septostomy (AS) or Potts shunt (PS) as well as to predict the effects of AS or PS in future PAH patients...
