Anaesthesia management for pulmonary endarterectomy
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2005Options for the surgical treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension are either lung transplantation or pulmonary endarterectomy. Pulmonary endarterectomy is considered permanently curative and the treatment of choice. The procedure dramatically improves functional status and provides an excellent immediate and long-term survival, much ...

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.

Evaluation of Patients for Pulmonary Endarterectomy
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2006Chronic thromboembolic obstruction of the pulmonary vascular bed has been increasingly recognized as a treatable form of pulmonary hypertension, with surgery referred to as a pulmonary endarterectomy. Careful evaluation of patients with pulmonary hypertension and proper selection of those with surgically accessible, chronic thromboembolic disease are ...

Long-term outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
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.

Pulmonary endarterectomy in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2018Management and outcome of patients with operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at a large German referral center were investigated.In Germany, 394 PEAs were performed in 2014 and 2015 with an in-hospital mortality rate of 5.8%.

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

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.

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.

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.

Anesthesia for Pulmonary Endarterectomy
2018Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), a disease that is increasingly being identified as a complication of acute pulmonary embolism. It is a complex surgical procedure involving the removal of obstructive material (including the intima and superficial media) from the ...
