Navigating the Unique Challenge of Pulmonary Hypertension From Left-to-Right PDA Shunts in Two Cases of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

John T. Wren, Jr., Rhucha Joshi, Patrick J. McNamaraUniversity of Iowa Healthcare. Children’s Hospital of Orange County. United States EchocardiographyEchocardiography 2026; 43: DOI: 10.1111/echo.70396 AbstractPulmonary hypertension (PH) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is nearly universal yet incredibly complex. A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is increasingly utilized to both monitor echocardiographically and manage CDH-PH. However, as pulmonary
