TCT 2018 | PADN-5: Pulmonary Artery Denervation in Pre- and Post-Capillary Pulmonary Hypertension

This work included 98 patients with pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressures ≥25 mmHg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressures >15 mmHg, and pulmonary vascular resistance >3.0 Wood units. These subjects were randomized to pulmonary artery denervation vs. sildenafil plus sham pulmonary artery denervation. The medical treatment for heart failure was administered to all patients.

TCT 2018 | PADN-5: Denervación pulmonar en hipertensión pulmonar combinada pre y post capilarThe primary endpoint was a 6-minute walk distance test at 6 months, and the secondary endpoint was modification of pulmonary vascular resistance.

 

At 6 months, the 6-minute walk distance test increased by an average of 83 m in the denervation group vs. 15 m in the sildenafil group (p < 0.001). Additionally, pulmonary vascular resistance was significantly lower. Clinical worsening was less frequent among patients in the pulmonary artery denervation group compared with the sildenafil group (16.7% vs. 40%; p = 0.014).
