Figure 8. Impact of interatrial shunt on pulmonary vascular properties.

Figure 8

(A) Changes in pulmonary hemodynamics and mechanics 6 months following interatrial shunt device (IASD) implantation. (B) Relationship between changes in pulmonary effective arterial elastance (Ea) to the change of pulmonary flow (ΔQp) in response to the IASD. **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 baseline vs follow‐up visit. PAO2 indicates pulmonary arterial oxygen concentration; PAC, pulmonary arterial compliance; and Qp, pulmonary blood flow. Reproduced in part from Obokata et al 43 with permission.
