pubmed:abstractText
A 34-year-old woman with known familial pulmonary arterial hypertension presented with syncope. Despite medical therapy with an endothelin-receptor antagonist and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, the patient had NYHA class III symptoms, with exertional dyspnea. Right heart catheterization revealed severe pulmonary hypertension (right atrial pressure 15 mmHg, right ventricular pressure 80/15 mmHg, pulmonary artery pressure 80/35 mmHg, mean pulmonary artery pressure 52 mmHg). The patient underwent balloon atrial septostomy, creating a right-to-left shunt. Although she had no history of headaches or migraine attacks, the patient developed a migraine headache with aura on the third day after the procedure. Migraine attacks recurred for the next 2 days, but symptoms were relieved with simple analgesia.
