Pulmonary hypertension often develops as a result of a long-lasting, left-to-right shunt and may ultimately be associated with a fixed increase of pulmonary vascular resistance, sometimes rendering these patients inoperable. To reduce the risk of developing postoperative morbidity and possible mortality, we employed our technique of a unidirectional valved patch for the closure of ASD. \ufffd The Author 2016.
