Pulmonary endarterectomy for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2016Pulmonary endarterectomy is a curative treatment option for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that not only patients with CTEPH but also patients with pulmonary arterial obstructions and mean pulmonary artery pressures < 25 mmHg should be offered surgery.

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

Reverse right ventricular remodeling after pulmonary endarterectomy
Journal 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 ...

Perioperative Management in Pulmonary Endarterectomy
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023AbstractPulmonary 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.

Journal 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
Journal 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.

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.

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 ...

Long-term outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2012 ObjectivesPulmonary endarterectomy is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Although several reports demonstrated excellent medium-term survival after pulmonary endarterectomy, long-term outcomes remain unclear.
