Incremental Experience in In Vitro Primary Culture of Human Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells Harvested from <i>Swan-Ganz</i> Pulmonary Arterial Catheters

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating condition affecting the pulmonary microvascular wall and endothelium, resulting in their partial or total obstruction. Despite a combination of expensive vasodilatory therapies, mortality remains high. Personalized therapeutic approaches, based...
