Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2002
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) should be differentiated from other etiologies of pulmonary hypertension since surgical intervention may be potentially curative. The presentation of this illness is nonspecific and may mimic other cardiopulmonary disease states.

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Lung, 2022
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), defined as precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) by right heart catheterization and imaging consistent with chronic thromboembolism, is a long-term complication of pulmonary embolism (PE). Pathobiological mechanisms involve pulmonary artery occlusion from organized thromboembolic material ...

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 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: 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.

Pulmonary endarterectomy for distal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014
ObjectivesChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension can be cured by pulmonary endarterectomy. Operability assessment remains a major concern, because there are no well-defined criteria to discriminate proximal from distal obstructions, and surgical ...

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.
