We present the use of pulmonary vasodilators in three adult patients with unrepaired tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, aortopulmonary collaterals, and segmental pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients improved by 1-2 NYHA classes with modest exercise-tolerance increase, and remained stable without side effects during 2.5, 10, and 14 years. Literature review revealed five studies with pulmonary vasodilators in heterogeneous, mostly repaired patient populations.
