Statistics are presented as mean ± SD or median (P25–P75).
Bolded text indicates statistically significant findings.
aIntraoperative mPAP pressure and CO were not available for all patients, and intraoperative PCWP and PVR were not available for any patients.
ALL, all patients with postcapillary PH; CO, cardiac output; mPAP, mean pulmonary artery pressure; PCWP, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; PH, pulmonary hypertension; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance.
