    AbstractDespite improvements in medical therapy, the overall prognosis of patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension remains poor.

This paper describes both established and novel percutaneous interventional techniques that may palliate or bridge pulmonary hypertension patients to transplantation.Copyright © 2014 American College of Cardiology Foundation.
