Novel strategies for the management of right ventricular failure with pulmonary hypertension
Abstract
The authors report a case where four novel strategies were successfully used in the management of advanced right ventricular failure with severe pulmonary hypertension and complex adult congenital heart disease. These included combination and optimisation of three advanced therapies for pulmonary hypertension, therapeutic abdominal paracentesis, correction of underlying metabolic/endocrine disturbance and a new inotropic agent.
