ABSTRACT Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a distinct and potentially curable form of pulmonary hypertension; however, a substantial proportion of patients remain inoperable or experience persistent or recurrent disease. Pharmacological therapies targeting the nitric oxide–soluble guanylate cyclase–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (

Ocular hypotonia following pulmonary endarterectomy [PDF]
Abstract Significant fluid removal and negative fluid balance is typical of the management of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy. In this study, we describe severe ocular hypotonia as an unusual clinical sign in a 72-year-old man immediately following pulmonary endarterectomy ...

Minimally Invasive Porcine Model for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
ABSTRACT To elucidate the complex pathophysiology of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), a disease associated with bilateral fibrotic obstructions of the pulmonary arteries (PA) and microvascular changes, research relies on animal models, which often depend on invasive techniques, including open surgery.

Iron Homeostasis at High Altitude in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension
ABSTRACT Iron deficiency aggravates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, exacerbating the increase of pulmonary arterial pressure at high altitude (HA). This may be especially relevant for patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) travelling to HA, who moreover have a high prevalence of iron deficiency. Currently, no data is available on iron parameters

Activin Signaling Inhibitors in Pulmonary Hypertension: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review
ABSTRACT Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease of abnormal pulmonary vascular remodeling and vascular obliteration that results in right heart failure and death. PAH pathogenesis is strongly associated with mutations of the Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF‐β) superfamily signaling pathway, which has previously been challenging to ...

ABSTRACT Abnormal pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise may persist even after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We report two female patients who underwent long‐term supervised outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after BPA with continuous pulmonary vasodilators.
