Early outcome of the effect of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor on pulmonary hypertension in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery
Keywords:
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, Pulmonary hypertension, Mitral valve surgeryAbstract
Background: The most frequent reason for pulmonary hypertension is left-sided cardiac disease. In certain cases, pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction & vascular remodeling may result in a superimposed active component that raises pulmonary arterial pressure even further. When PHTN is present, individuals with left-sided cardiac disease have a poorer prognosis. According to recent research, sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, is a useful medication for treating pulmonary hypertension in patients with left-sided heart disease. Objective: To investigate how sildenafil works for pulmonary hypertension in patients with mitral valve disease. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted between 2015 & 2019 at Cairo University's Kasr El Aini Faculty of Medicine's Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery with local ethical committee permission. One hundred adults studied cases with mitral valve lesions & PHTN who had undergone mitral valve surgery were enrolled. Two groups of fifty studied cases each were assigned, & their preoperative risk factors were appropriately matched. studied cases in Group A (no=50) & pulmonary artery pressure (50-80mmHg) received sildenafil citrate.
