Pulmonary endarterectomy

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
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

Perioperative Management in Pulmonary Endarterectomy

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023
AbstractPulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH), provided lesions are proximal enough in the pulmonary vasculature to be surgically accessible and the patient is well enough to benefit from the operation in the longer term.

Reverse right ventricular remodeling after pulmonary endarterectomy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007
ObjectivesWe sought to evaluate the capability of the right ventricle to regain normal morphology and function after pulmonary endarterectomy, to correlate right ventricular reverse remodeling with functional status, and to identify independent ...

Six-minute walk distance as parameter of functional outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007
ObjectivesIn chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, objective data to assess the functional outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy are lacking. We studied the 6-minute walk distance in relation to the clinical and hemodynamic severity of disease,

Bosentan as a bridge to pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010
ObjectivesIn proximal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary endarterectomy is the treatment of first choice. In general, medical treatment before pulmonary endarterectomy is not indicated.

Pulmonary endarterectomy

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2006
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.

Pulmonary endarterectomy

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 ...
