ResumoTwo visits to the operating theatre for fairly simple surgery may be a cheap and possibly permanent treatment for patients with the Eisenmenger complex. Previously, cardiopulmonary transplantation was the only way to help patients with ventricular septal defect associated with pulmonary hypertension. But now, Randas Batista and colleagues (Hospital Angelina Caron, Campina Grande do Sul, Brazil), have successfully reversed pulmonary hypertension in a 19-year-old woman with a congenital ventricular septal defect and an atrial septal defect.
