Novel Hybrid Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension with or without Eisenmenger Syndrome: Double Lung Transplantation with Simultaneous Endovascular or Classic Surgical Closure of the Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) become candidates for lung or lung and heart transplantation when the maximum specific therapy is no longer effective. The most difficult challenge is choosing one of the above options in the event of symptoms of right ventricular failure. Here, we...

description Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) become candidates for lung or lung and heart transplantation when the maximum specific therapy is no longer effective. The most difficult challenge is choosing one of the above options in the event of symptoms of right ventricular failure. Here, we present two female patients with PAH: (1) a 21-year-old patient with Eisenmenger syndrome, caused by a congenital defect—patent ductus arteriosus (PDA); and (2) a 39-year-old patient with idiopathic PAH and coexistent PDA. Their common denominator is PDA and the hybrid surgery performed: double lung transplantation with simultaneous PDA closure. The operation was performed after pharmacological bridging (conditioning) to transplantation that lasted for 33 and 70 days, respectively. In both cases, PDA closure effectiveness was 100%. Both patients survived the operation (100%); however, patient no. 1 died on the 2nd postoperative day due to multi-organ failure; while patient no. 2 was discharged home in full health. The authors did not find a similar description of the operation in the available literature and PubMed database. Hence, we propose this new treatment method for its effectiveness and applicability proven in our practice.
