Bronchial and arterial sleeve resection for centrally-located lung cancers [PDF]
The use of bronchial and arterial sleeve resections for the treatment of centrally-located lung cancers, when available, has become the option of choice in comparison with pneumonectomy (PN). Technical expertise, in particular in vascular reconstruction,

Absence of reflex vascular responses from the intrapulmonary circulation in anaesthetised dogs [PDF]
The aim of this investigation was to determine whether reflex cardiovascular responses were obtained to localised distension of the intrapulmonary arterial and venous circulations in a preparation in which the stimuli to other major reflexogenic areas ...

Transthoracic Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
Objective— Pulmonary arterial hypertension is characterized by progressive pulmonary vascular remodeling and persistently elevated mean pulmonary artery pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance. We aimed to investigate whether transthoracic pulmonary artery denervation (TPADN) attenuated pulmonary artery (PA) remodeling ...

A rare case of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect with right-sided aortic arch
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart malformation in which a lack of continuity between ventricles and the pulmonary artery is accompanied by ventricular septal defect.

Serotonin signaling through the 5-HT1B receptor and NADPH oxidase 1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Objective: Serotonin can induce human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (hPASMC) proliferation through reactive oxygen species (ROS), influencing the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We hypothesise that in PASMCs, serotonin induces

Pulmonary artery size as a predictor of outcomes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
IPF patients have heightened propensity for pulmonary hypertension, which portends a worse outcome. Presence of pulmonary hypertension may be reflected in an enlarged pulmonary artery.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Significant advances in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have occurred over the last 10 years, starting with the approval of epoprostenol in 1998. Subsequently, multiple additional medications have received approval, including a subcutaneous prostacyclin, an inhaled prostacyclin, and oral medications in 2 separate classes.

Association of PET-measured myocardial flow reserve with echocardiography-estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BackgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a known complication of HCM and is a strong predictor of mortality. We aim to investigate the relationship between microvascular dysfunction measured by quantitative PET and PH in HCM patients.MethodsEighty-nine ...

Pseudotumors due to pulmonary infarction [PDF]
The preferred treatment of pulmonary infarction is nonoperative when the diagnosis can be established. In the present study, five cases are described in which failure of resolution or growth of a radiographic density resulted in eventual thoracotomy and ...
