- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the safety and feasibility of pulmonary artery denervation(PADN)in children with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension(IPAH). METHODS: On July 11,2019,PADN was performed in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital on the bifurcation of main pulmonary artery and the opening of left and right pulmonary artery in a child with IPAH. The pressure and resistance of pulmonary artery were monitored after operation. RESULTS: The pressure and resistance of pulmonary artery decreased significantly immediately after PADN. No serious complications occurred.CONCLUSION: PADN may be safe and feasible for children with IPAH. Further follow-up and multi-center registry study is necessary to confirm the efficacy and feasibility of PADN.
