Comparison of Inhaled Nitric Oxide and Inhaled Aerosolized Prostacyclin in the Evaluation of Heart Transplant Candidates With Elevated Pulmonary Vascular Resistance

Study objective: Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance is a risk factor in heart transplantation and reversibility of high pulmonary vascular resistance is evaluated preoperatively in potential recipients using IV vasodilators or inhaled nitric oxide. Prostacyclin is a potent vasodilator, which whe...
