Patent foramen ovale and left atrial appendage: new devices and methods for closure.

abstract：:It is shown that phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil can modulate pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) via increasing the level of guanosine-3,5-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and decreases pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). In this study we determined the effectiveness of sildenafil and compared...
