To treat or not to treat pulmonary arteries: epinephrine provocation to unmask right ventricular load

Background: Pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS) is common in congenital heart disease (CHD). The indication for treatment of PAS is primarily based on invasively measured pressure gradients. Anesthetics used during cardiac catheterization cause systemic and pulmonary hypotension. We hypothesize that thi...
