Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is an underdiagnosed condition. Patients typically present with the symptoms of right heart failure. Diagnosis is usually done by radionuclide ventilation/perfusion (VQ) scan, high-quality multidetector computed tomography (CT) or pulmonary angiography at expert centers. Pulmonary endarterectomy remains the

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a condition that is recognised in an increased percentage of patients. Pulmonary endarterectomy is recognised as being the only curative option for a subgroup of those patients, but anaesthesiologists and intensivists face many challenges in how they manage these patients perioperatively.

Carotid endarterectomy is an established surgical procedure to prevent stroke. The indications, preoperative evaluation, surgical timing, technical details, complications, and special circumstances for the use of this operation are reviewed. Future developments in the surgical reconstruction of the extracranial carotid artery are also discussed.

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2008
Pulmonary endarterectomy is the treatment of choice for many patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Although potentially curative, some patients receive no benefit and have poor outcomes. This review will look at the new research in the pathophysiology of the disease and developments in perioperative care, which may help to ...

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1985
AbstractLaser radiation can be applied directly at a diseased artery to dissect the plaque away from the media and perform an open endarterectomy. The appropriate cleavage plane within the media can be achieved with the laser beam for precise reconstruction of the artery.

To the Editor.—We would like to thank Dr Thompson for his comments on our recent article.1We agree that our follow-up was short; however, a recent update of our results indicates a cumulative stroke-free survival of 97% at three years, with 65 patients having been followed up prospectively for this time period.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980
Thousands of carotid endarterectomies are now performed each year. In properly selected patients in the hands of competent surgeons, the mortality and morbidity rate should not exceed 2 per cent. Although the long-term results are good, this procedure is prophylactic, and a patient who has already sustained a fixed neurologic deficit will rarely be ...

During the last 20 years carotid endarterectomy has become an important method of treatment for selected patients with arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. Improvement in selection of patients for operation, in anesthetic management, and in surgical techniques has resulted in a decline in complications associated with the operation.
