Study protocol of pulmonary hypertension induction. The study protocol consisted of ligation of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) at day 0 (D0) followed by weekly (W) embolization (E) of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate in the right lower pulmonary artery. * mGFR were carried out weekly on one piglet of group PH from embolization number 2 (W2) until sacrifice. ° eGFR were carried out weekly on one piglet of group PH from embolization number 2 (W2) until sacrifice, and for all piglets at sacrifice. D: day; E: embolization; mGFR: measured glomerular filtration rate; LPA: left pulmonary artery; PH: pulmonary hypertension; RHC: right heart catheterization; TTE: transthoracic echocardiography; W: week.
