Efficacy of Dynamic Chest Radiography for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.

Radiology, 2022
Background While current guidelines require lung ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scanning as the first step to diagnose chronic pulmonary embolism in pulmonary hypertension (PH), its use may be limited by low availability and/or exposure to ionizing ...

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.

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 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%.

The Pathobiology of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2016
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a late sequel of venous thromboembolism that cannot be completely reproduced in animal models. The prevalence of CTEPH in humans is estimated at roughly 17-20 per million; however, partly because up to 50% of patients with CTEPH never experience symptomatic pulmonary embolism, precise numbers on ...

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.

Surgery for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

World Journal of Surgery, 1999
Abstract.The modern era of surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) began just over 10 years ago. Until that time pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) was performed infrequently and essentially at a single medical center (University of California at San Diego—UCSD).
