. . .  primary pulmonary hypertension after lung transplantation has not been reported. Prognosis The median duration of survival after the diagnosis of primary pulmonary hyperten- sion is 2.8 years, 25 but this figure is highly vari- able. As a result of new treatments, patients without hemodynamic evidence of right ven- tricular dysfunction may survive for more than 10 years. The prognosis for patients with secondary pulmonary hypertension depends on the underlying disease, as well as right ventricular function. For . . .
