Secondary pulmonary hypertension in an adult patient with Ebstein anomaly post-atrial septal defect closure; can it be reversible? A case report
This case depicts a rare haemodynamic entity of worsening PHTN in a 32-year-old patient with EA post-ASD closure. It illustrates a rare complication of compression of rPVs by the ASD device. Therefore, suspicion should be high for evaluating rPVs in EA with worsening PTHN and RV failure post-ASD closure.
