Isolated right ventricular infarction: a diagnostic challenge [PDF]

, 2016
A 73-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room due to sudden-onset dyspnoea, altered mental status and haemodynamic instability. ECG showed a junctional rhythm, T-wave inversion in I, aVL and V2-V6 (present in a previous ECG), and no ST/T changes

Right ventricular reverse remodelling after balloon pulmonary angioplasty [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2014
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has been reported to improve haemodynamics and functional capacity, with an acceptable risk, in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are not candidates for pulmonary endarterectomy.

Rescue Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Prior to Pulmonary Endarterectomy With Concomitant Mitral Valve Plasty in High‐Risk Operable CTEPH

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a potentially curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH); however, decompensated right heart failure and concomitant cardiac procedures increase the risk of postoperative mortality. We report a case of operable CTEPH with severe mitral regurgitation causing right heart failure

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty: a treatment option for inoperable patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, stenoses or obstructions of the pulmonary arteries due to organized thrombi can cause an elevation in pulmonary artery resistance, which in turn can result in pulmonary hypertension.

Consequences of the Updated Hemodynamic Criteria for the Classification of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The revised definition of pulmonary hypertension (PH) reclassifies patients previously diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) without pre‐capillary PH as having chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Reclassified CTEPH patients demonstrated oxygen desaturation during exercise and reduced ventilatory ...

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty under awake veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with class III obesity with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension complicated with multiple serious comorbidities

Pulmonary Circulation
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a chronic disease that can rapidly deteriorate into circulatory collapse when complicated by comorbidities. We herein describe a case involving a 43‐year‐old woman with class III obesity (body mass

Intravascular Lithotripsy to Facilitate Extraction of Very Old Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Leads

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 752-757, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background One of the challenges encountered when extracting transvenous leads with long dwell times is the presence of dense calcifications encasing the leads. This is the most likely reason for failure to advance a laser extraction sheath.
