Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with concomitant right heart failure may develop as a sequela of acute pulmonary embolism with organization instead of thrombolysis of intravascular clots. Medical therapy aims at prevention of recurrent embolism by anticoagulation and vascular remodelling using vasodilator therapy.

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

Anadolu Kardiyoloji Dergisi/The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2010
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare disease characterized by the persistence of thromboemboli obstructing the pulmonary arteries as an organized tissue. The consequence is an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance resulting in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and progressive right heart failure. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

Reoperative pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
Recurrent symptomatic pulmonary hypertension is uncommon after primary pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE). We reviewed our experience with patients undergoing repeat PTE to determine the risk factors for recurrent disease, and the selection criteria, relative risks, and functional outcomes of reoperative PTE.Since 1990, 13 of 870 (1.5%) patients ...

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy surgery

Cardiology Clinics, 2004
Considerable progress has been made over the past decade in understanding the etiology, prevalence, natural history, and therapeutic approach to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary endarterectomy is now widely recognized as the definitive treatment for chronic pulmonary hypertension resulting from thromboembolic disease.

Dissectors for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1991
Even with circulatory arrest during pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, continued back-bleeding obscures the operative field. This necessitates frequent interruptions of dissection to allow aspiration with a second instrument. Therefore, pulmonary thromboendarterectomy dissectors are described that allow simultaneous suction of blood from the operative ...

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

AORN Journal, 2005
Pulmonary artery thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a surgical procedure that offers the only cure for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (TPH), a progressive form of secondary pulmonary hypertension. Current estimates indicate that 1% to 5% of patients who survive a pulmonary embolus will develop chronic TPH with progressively worsening ...

Early Effect of Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy on Right Ventricular-to-Pulmonary Artery Coupling.

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia
OBJECTIVES To assess intraoperative changes in the right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling ratio, derived using right ventricular free wall strain and invasive pulmonary artery systolic pressure, following pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE ...
