60A randomized, placebo controlled, single center clinical trial for evaluation of efficacy and safety of Sildenafil administration in the cardiac ICU following Mitral Valve (MV) Surgery in patients with pre-operative Significant Pulmonary Hypertension.
Sildenafil administration in the cardiac ICU following Mitral Valve Surgery concomitant with best practice usual care
Placebo comparator concomitant with best practice usual care
PDEI or placebo will be administered in the surgical ICU 4-6 hours after arriving from the Operative Room. The initial Dose will be 20mg X 3 NG and can be increase to 40mg X 3, it will be administered PO if the patient extubated. PDEI or placebo will continue up to 8 days or discharge.
