Abstract
Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWp) as a surrogate for left atrial pressure (LAp) has been validated in patients with fully pulsatile two-ventricle circulations. This study was to validate PAWp as an accurate estimate of LAp for calculating pulmonary vascular resistance in single-ventricle patients after the bidirectional Glenn operation. A prospective study measuring direct branch pulmonary artery pressures, ipsilateral PAWp, and direct LAp...
