  • Title: Usefulness of atrial septostomy as a treatment for primary pulmonary hypertension and guidelines for its application.
    Author: Rich S, Dodin E, McLaughlin VV.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1997 Aug 01; 80(3):369-71. PubMed ID: 9264443.
    Abstract:
    We review our experience and that for 2 large series of atrial septostomy as a treatment for advanced pulmonary hypertension to better understand the hemodynamic changes that result. Atrial septostomy may be a useful procedure in patients with severe refractory pulmonary hypertension, but should not be used in patients who are critically ill.
