Does pulmonary artery denervation improve hemodynamic parameters and functional capacity in a patient with pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease?
Pulmonary artery denervation may be a feasible intervention to improve hemodynamics and functional capacity in patients with combined postcapillary and precapillary pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease.

May support pulmonary artery denervation in PH-LHD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) predicts poor outcome in patients with left heart disease. A 62-year-old man was referred for heart failure associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy. He received a diagnosis of combined postcapillary and precapillary PH secondary to left heart disease on the basis of hemodynamic parameters. After the pulmonary artery denervation procedure was performed, hemodynamic parameters were markedly improved, which resulted in a significant increase in functional capacity.

Zhang et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease (n=1). Pulmonary artery denervation was evaluated on Hemodynamic parameters and functional capacity. Pulmonary artery denervation markedly improved hemodynamic parameters and significantly increased functional capacity in a patient with pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart disease.
