Pulmonary artery blood flow dynamics in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is caused by incomplete resolution and organization of thrombi. Blood flow dynamics are involved in thrombus formation; however, only a few studies have reported on pulmonary artery blood flow dynamics in ...

Long-term risk of carotid restenosis in patients randomly assigned to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy in the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]
Background In the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS), early recurrent carotid stenosis was more common in patients assigned to endovascular treatment than it was in patients assigned to endarterectomy (CEA), raising ...

Case Report: Successful Concomitant Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy and Carotid Endarterectomy
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy concomitant with additional cardiac procedures was reported as safe and feasible.

Endovascular treatment with angioplasty or stenting versus endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis in the Carotid And Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]
Endovascular treatment (angioplasty with or without stenting) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis but there are scarce long-term efficacy data showing that it prevents stroke.

Reverse right ventricular remodeling after pulmonary endarterectomy in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Utility of magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate restoration of the right ventricle [PDF]
ObjectivesPulmonary arterial hypertension causes right ventricular remodeling; that is, right ventricular dilatation, hypertrophy, and leftward ventricular septal bowing.

Background: In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), fibrotic remodeling of tissue and thrombi contributes to disease progression. Removal of the thromboembolic mass by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) improves hemodynamics and right ...

In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, stenoses or obstructions of the pulmonary arteries due to organized thrombi can cause an elevation in pulmonary artery resistance, which in turn can result in pulmonary hypertension.
