Case Reports[Use of oral sildenafil (Viagra) in pulmonary hypertension after cardiac pediatric surgery].
Pulmonary hypertension remains a major cause of morbidity after cardiac surgery, although inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) was shown to have clinical benefit. Some patients are dependent on iNO, increasing the length of hospital stay. ⋯ Following cardiac surgery, pulmonary hypertension persisted and iNO could not be withdrawn. Sildenafil was administered orally (1,5mg x kg(-1), every 4 h) at the 15th postoperative day and iNO could be withdrawn within 24h with clinical improvement.
