Outcomes of pulmonary endarterectomy for patients with pulmonary artery sarcoma [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
ObjectivePulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is an exceedingly rare and insufficiently investigated disease, leading to uncertain in its optimal management. This study aims to present our institutional experience and the outcomes of pulmonary endarterectomy ...

Rescue Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Prior to Pulmonary Endarterectomy With Concomitant Mitral Valve Plasty in High-Risk Operable CTEPH. [PDF]

Pulm Circ
ABSTRACT Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a potentially curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH); however, decompensated right heart failure and concomitant cardiac procedures increase the risk of postoperative mortality. We report a case of operable CTEPH with severe mitral regurgitation causing right heart failure

A Case of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension and Pregnancy, Managed With Pulmonary Endarterectomy: Clinical Challenges, Case Report, and Literature Review [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare, potentially curable form of pulmonary hypertension, with limited data in pregnancy. We describe a 37‐year‐old woman with progressive dyspnea, back pain, and cough, whose evaluation revealed severe right ventricular enlargement, high pulmonary pressures, and extensive V/Q ...

Hydrodissection in chronic pulmonary endarterectomy. [PDF]

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 2023
In our series of surgical pulmonary endarterectomies done for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, we have incorporated the principle of hydrodissection with the aid of a carbon dioxide (CO2) mist blower which is routinely used for off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgeries.

Pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Technical challenges and controversies [PDF]

JHLT Open
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension requires referral to an expert center for final diagnosis and assessment of treatment possibilities by a multidisciplinary team. Pulmonary endarterectomy is the only potentially curative therapy and therefore

Pulmonary hemorrhage after pulmonary endarterectomy in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a case report [PDF]

The Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology
Massive pulmonary hemorrhage is the severe complication of pulmonary endarterectomy, associated with high mortality rates. ECMO may be a life-saving option for patients with pulmonary hemorrhage.

Pulmonary endarterectomy for distal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014
Chronic 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 candidacy depends mostly on the surgeon's experience.

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty for proximal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in patients ineligible for pulmonary endarterectomy [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) to treat chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is generally reserved for distal obstruction precluding pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) but can be used in patients with proximal disease who are at high ...

Pulmonary endarterectomy: technique and pitfalls [PDF]

Annals of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains a rare and underdiagnosed disease. After one or several episodes of acute pulmonary embolism, around 3% of patients develop CTEPH and two-thirds of these patients are potential surgical candidates.
