PULMONARY CIRCULATION - STRUCTURAL REMODELING Elastic > Fully muscular > Partially muscular > Non muscular • At birth the smallest muscular arteries dilate with medial thinning • By 4 months, this process involves larger arteries & get completed • Alveoli and Arteries grow both in number & size Al : Art = 20:1 > 8:1 • With shunt lesions resulting in increased flow ± pressure, proximal arteries dilate, distal arteries reduce in number and size bcause of extension of muscle in media of partially or non muscular arteries
PAH IN L > R SHUNTS • NONRESTRICTIVE VSD = 15 % < 2 yrs of life MODERATE DEFECTS = 3% ; LARGE DEFECTS (1.5cm) = 50% • LARGE PDA = similar incidence • LARGE ASD = 6-10% > 3rd decade Frequent in SVC, partial AV Canal defects & in Lutembacher’s • TGA = 8% (intact IVS) 40% ( VSD/PDA ) < 1 yr 75% at 2 yrs • COMMON AV CANAL all develop PAH • TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS by 1-2 yrs • SYSTEMIC - PA SHUNTS: BT Shunt (<10%) Waterston / Pott’s ~ 30%

EISENMENGER’S SYNDROMEMANAGEMENT ISSUES • Avoid dehydration, living at high altitude • Air travel safe (supplemental O2) • Avoid pregnancy ( No OCP – tubal ligation/vasectomy) • Treat Iron deficiency ( MCV < 82 ) ; hyperuricemia • Vensection for hyperviscosity syndrome • Antiplatelet / Anticoagulants ? • Disease targeting therapies : Prostacyclin & analogues, sildenafil, bosentan • Surgery: Correction after PA banding, prolonged vasodilator therapy, Heart Lung Transplant
