Postoperative management of pulmonary endarterectomy and outcome
Pulmonary artery thromboendarterectomy (PTE) has been regarded as a promising, potentially curative surgical procedure. However, PTE is associated with specific postoperative complications, such as reperfusion pulmonary edema and right heart failure leading to a considerable mortality of 7-24%.

Pulmonary endarterectomy in the management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a type of pulmonary hypertension, resulting from fibrotic transformation of pulmonary artery clots causing chronic obstruction in macroscopic pulmonary arteries and associated vascular remodelling in the microvasculature.Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) offers the best chance of symptomatic and ...

ABSTRACT Whether hypoxia during popular high‐altitude travel negatively affects cerebral oxygenation in vulnerable patients with pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) is unknown. We studied overnight cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (CTO) and desaturation index (cODI) in PVD‐patients at 2500 m and effects of supplemental oxygen therapy (SOT).

ABSTRACT We aimed to evaluate the role of medical therapy before and after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for non‐operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in the modern management era. This Japanese nationwide, multicenter, prospective observational registry, including 37 centers, analyzed data newly registered from August ...

ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined by elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP). Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and SvO2 (mixed venous oxygenation), measured by right heart catheterization (RHC), are key determinants of disease severity and prognosis.

Pulmonary Endarterectomy in Latvia: A National Experience
Background and objectives: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a hemodynamic state characterized by chronic obstruction in pulmonary circulation. The treatment of choice is pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). The aim of our study was to compile and analyze the data of a small, national center, which has not yet been done in the Baltic ...

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).
