| Eisenmenger’s Syndrome | PAH Associated with Prevalent Systemic-to- Pulmonary Shunts | PAH after Defect Correction | PAH with Small/Coincidental Defects | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N = 16 | N = 15 | N = 15 | N = 8 | |
| ASD, n = 11 | 1 (6.25%) | 1 (6.67%) | 1 (6.67%) | 8 (100%) |
| VSD, n = 14 | 6 (37.5%) | 3 (20.0%) | 5 (33.3%) | 0 |
| AVSD, n = 9 | 3 (18.75%) | 4 (26.67%) | 2 (13,3%) | 0 |
