The relationship of pulmonary artery pressure and survival in congenital diaphragmatic hernia
PW Dillon, RE Cilley, D Mauger, C Zachary… - Journal of pediatric …, 2004 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Pulmonary hypertension is an integral part of the
pathophysiology of the respiratory failure associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Hypothesizing that the evolution of the pulmonary hypertension would determine clinical
outcome, the authors examined pulmonary artery pressures in relation to survival in their
CDH patients. METHODS: The authors performed a retrospective chart review of all
neonates with the CDH from 1991 to 2002 at their institution eliminating infants with complex …
