[|AI|]  Hello In patients with ASD with the passage of time the shunt become reversed (right to left) due to increased pulmonary vascular resistance. These patients develop severe PAH due to which It's become impossible to close the defect. It's Called Eisenmengerisation of the shunt. This could be the possible reason in your case keeping in mind SEVERE PAH reported in your ECHO report. See in the report if its written Reversal of shunt or right to left shunt across ASD then surgery is not possible Take Care
