Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009
The last 4 decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension. And with the advances in cardiothoracic surgical techniques, selected patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are afforded a surgical remedy for their disease.

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: the Bench

Current Cardiology Reports, 2021
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an uncommon complication of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), in which the red, platelet-rich thrombus does not resolve but forms into an organized yellow, fibrotic scar-like obstruction in the pulmonary vasculature.

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Heart Failure Clinics, 2012
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by obstruction of pulmonary arterial vasculature by acute or recurrent thromboemboli with subsequent organization, leading to progressive pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure.

Pulmonary Hypertension from Chronic Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
Pulmonary hypertension may develop whenever chronic obstruction of pulmonary arterial blood flow occurs. Although repeated pulmonary embolism is thought to be the usual underlying cause, there is little clinical evidence to support this theory. Studies of the pulmonary vascular endothelium have shown that perturbations of the normal endothelium can ...

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Perfusion, 2005
Introduction. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a surgical procedure which is considered the only effective and potentially curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). CTEPH is a rare outcome from pulmonary emboli and, when left untreated, will result in right ventricular failure and death. Methods.

Pulmonary endarterectomy in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2018
Management and outcome of patients with operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at a large German referral center were investigated.In Germany, 394 PEAs were performed in 2014 and 2015 with an in-hospital mortality rate of 5.8%.

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension and Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2005
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension results from incomplete resolution of a pulmonary embolus or from recurrent pulmonary emboli. Its incidence is underappreciated, and it is currently an undertreated phenomenon. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is currently the safest and most effective treatment for this condition.

Update on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017
Chronic, unresolved thromboemboli are an important cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) with specific treatment strategies differing from other types of PH. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is classified as group 4 PH by the World Health Organization.

Iloprost for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2004
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTPH) is an uncommon complication of pulmonary embolism. The treatment of choice is thromboendarterectomy, a safe and effective surgical procedure in expert hands. However, a fair number of patients are not considered candidates for thromboendarterectomy or do not accept the risk involved.
