Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1995
Remarkable advances have occurred over the past 2 decades in the diagnostic approach, surgical management, and postoperative care of patients afflicted with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Despite these advances, a great deal needs to be achieved if the morbidity and mortality of the disease process are to be reduced further.

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

New England Journal of Medicine, 2011
Currently, no pharmacologic regimen helps prevent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, except anticoagulation with or without fibrinolysis. When administered in hemodynamically stable patients with right ventricular dysfunc- tion due to acute pulmonary embolism (submassive pulmonary embolism), fibrino- lytic therapy has been shown to reduce ...

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2022
AbstractChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) are two terms characterizing symptomatic patients with chronic thromboembolic occlusions of pulmonary arteries with or without pulmonary hypertension at rest.

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

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
Over the past 4 decades, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension has evolved from an autopsy curiosity to a potentially correctable form of pulmonary hypertension. Approximately 2500 thromboendarterectomy procedures have now been performed worldwide with mortality rates reported by established programs experienced in the management of this ...

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 ...

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.

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%.
