Outcomes of Pulmonary Endarterectomy Surgery
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension has emerged as one of the leading causes of severe pulmonary hypertension. This disease is estimated to occur in approximately 1 to 5% of all patients who have previously developed an acute pulmonary embolism, although the true prevalence is suspected to be much higher.

Anesthesia for Pulmonary Endarterectomy
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006Anesthetic care for patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy represents one of the most challenging tasks in cardiac anesthesia. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with its concomitant right ventricular failure may cause hemodynamic instability during anesthetic induction and the precardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) period, and the associated

Reoperative pulmonary endarterectomy
4.3 Pulmonary Circulation and Pulmonary Vascular Diseases, 2016Background: Recurrent symptomatic pulmonary hypertension is uncommon after primary pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). We reviewed our experience with patients undergoing repeat PEA to determine the risk factors for recurrent disease, and the outcome of reoperative PEA.

Pavia Experience in Reoperative Pulmonary Endarterectomy
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2017In our experience, we reperformed pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) in 10 patients who previously underwent a first PEA. We analyzed this cohort of patients to investigate the main causes of recurrence of symptomatic pathology and the clinical and hemodynamic results of redo surgery.

Pulmonary endarterectomy in the elderly
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2016Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, but there are few data in the literature about the results of this procedure in the elderly. In this study, we aimed to assess whether this type of surgery is effective and well tolerated for the elderly.A total of 264 consecutive ...

Successful Thrombolysis After Pulmonary Endarterectomy
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2010We report the case of a 51-year-old woman who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. On postoperative day 1 she developed bilateral pulmonary thrombosis due to preoperatively undiagnosed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Systemic thrombolytic therapy with alteplase on postoperative days 5 and 6 resulted in
