	Preoperative	Postoperative	Follow-up
PA mean pressure (mmHg)	48 ± 12	27 ± 8*	24 ± 10
PA systolic pressure (mmHg)	80 ± 21	44 ± 15*	39 ± 17*
Cardiac output (L/min)	3.7 ± 1.2	6.0 ± 1.1*	4.8 ± 1.0*

Immediate and late pulmonary hemodynamic results in 47 of the first 150 patients in whom postoperative values were obtained 48 to 72 hours after admission to the intensive care unit, off all vasoactive drugs, and who returned for follow-up catheterization 6 to 24 months after surgery. After significant improvements in all parameters after surgery, there were highly significant reductions in pulmonary artery (PA) systolic pressure and cardiac output at late follow-up.

* Statistically significant compared with preoperative values.
