Pulmonary Hypertension Crisis in a Pediatric Patient Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery: Case ReportPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), is a frequent complication of congenital heart diseases (CHD). PAH, is characterised by chronic elevation of pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance leading to right ventricular enlargement and hypertrophy (1,2) . Vasoconstriction of pulmonary vessels plays an important role in the early prognosis in children with congenital heart disease who has pulmonary hypertension.In this case report, we have reported a case who had undergone aortic interruption operation and successfully treated for the hypertensive crisis developed during postoperative period.
