    AbstractPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a recognized complication of congenital systemic to pulmonary arterial cardiac shunts. The prognosis of PAH in this situation is better than primary or other secondary forms of PAH. Our knowledge of the pathophysiology of PAH complicating congenital heart disease has evolved over the past decade. Despite differences in etiology and pathobiology, therapies that have proven successful for primary PAH may benefit this group of patients.
