Heterotopic heart transplant combined with postoperative Sildenafil use for the treatment of restrictive cardiomyopathy.
Ann Thorac Surg. 2006; (4): 1505-7
We report successful management of a 22-month-old child with restrictive cardiomyopathy and severe pulmonary hypertension using the heterotopic heart transplant technique. Additional lessons learned from postoperative management, including the novel use of Sildenafil (Viagra, Pfizer, NY) for controlling pulmonary arterial pressure are described.
