Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.
While the seminal advance in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) over the past 2 decades has been pharmacological targeting of dysfunctional endothelium-derived pathways that contribute to the characteristic vascular remodeling of this condition irrespective of etiology [(1)][1],

Dilatation of the Pulmonary Artery in Pulmonary Stenosis [PDF]
Dilatation of the pulmonary artery occurs frequently in cases of valvular pulmonary stenosis and is often called "poststenotic." We determined the diameter of the pulmonary artery angiocardiographically and compared this with the data obtained by heart catheterization in cases of pulmonary stenosis and of idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery ...

PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a disease of the small pulmonary arteries characterized by vascular narrowing and increased pulmonary vascular resistance, which eventually leads to right ventricular failure. Vasoconstriction, vascular proliferation, remodeling of the pulmonary vessels, and thrombosis are all contributing factors to the increased ...

Pulmonary artery denervation for pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension remains a progressive, life-limiting disease despite optimal medical therapy. Pulmonary artery denervation has arisen as a novel intervention in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, and other forms of pulmonary hypertension, with the aim of reducing the sympathetic activity of the pulmonary circulation.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic and progressive disease leading to right heart failure and ultimately death if untreated. The first classification of PH was proposed in 1973. In 2008, the fourth World Symposium on PH held in Dana Point (California, USA) revised previous classifications.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Key pointsPAH is defined by RHC showing a pre-capillary PH.Clinical suspicion of PH should arise in the case of symptoms such as dyspnoea without overt signs of specific heart or lung disease.RHC is required to confirm the diagnosis of PAH, to assess the severity of the haemodynamic impairment and to test the vasoreactivity of the pulmonary circulation.

Reconstruction of the Pulmonary Artery [PDF]
Sleeve resection and prosthetic reconstruction of the pulmonary artery have progressively gained acceptance as an alternative to pneumonectomy in lung cancer surgery. Previous concern was mainly related to technical difficulties, intraoperative and postoperative complications, lack of long-term survival, and impact on cardiopulmonary function. For this

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
In Internal and Emergency Medicine, Wu and coworkers [1] review the topic of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Overall, their article is sound and pertinent; however, some issues deserve comments. First, the value of chest radiography in the diagnostic process is somewhat overlooked.
