Outcome After Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1999
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) surgery is an effective treatment for the majority of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), with an acceptable mortality rate. The immediate outcome after PTE has repeatedly shown a dramatic decline in pulmonary vascular resistance, echocardiographic evidence of reduced right heart ...

Massive Pulmonary Hemorrhage After Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2004
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, the most common surgical treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, is being performed with increasing frequency throughout the world. Massive pulmonary hemorrhage is a potentially fatal complication of this procedure.

Cytokine Response to Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

Chest, 2004
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is an effective but challenging treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). PTE is associated with marked hemodynamic instability in the perioperative course, suggesting the involvement of circulating mediators. The aim of this study was to characterize the expression of proinflammatory and

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for pulmonary hypertension

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1993
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a term that has been proposed by Dr. Kenneth Moser to describe a progressively debilitating process that occasionally follows venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In the past, the disease was dramatically underdiagnosed for several reasons: 1) the initial event--deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary ...

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension and Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2005
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension results from incomplete resolution of a pulmonary embolus or from recurrent pulmonary emboli. Its incidence is underappreciated, and it is currently an undertreated phenomenon. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is currently the safest and most effective treatment for this condition.

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy in the UK

International Journal of Nursing Practice, 2003
This paper describes the disease of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. This is a disease with an extremely poor prognosis, and the surgical procedure of pulmonary thromboendarterectomy represents the only possibility of a cure for patients with this condition. Further the paper describes the role and responsibilities of critical care nurses,

Effect of Deep Hypothermia (18°C) on Dioxygen Metabolism During Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy Surgery.

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia
OBJECTIVES The aim of this physiological pilot study was to investigate the effect of deep hypothermia on oxygen extraction (OE) and consumption (VO2) in normothermic conditions (36-37°C), and at different stages of cooling: 30°C, 25°C, and 18°C ...

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy.

Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2002
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) provides a curative alternative to the otherwise fatal condition of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, the condition is under-diagnosed due to a lack of awareness. An acceptable operative mortality of around 10% and long-term survival exceeding medical therapy or transplantation makes ...

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Perfusion, 2005
Introduction. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a surgical procedure which is considered the only effective and potentially curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). CTEPH is a rare outcome from pulmonary emboli and, when left untreated, will result in right ventricular failure and death. Methods.

Concomitant pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and supracoronary ascending aorta replacement: a case report

Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Surgery
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the treatment of choice for patients with operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). PTE with additional cardiac procedures has been reported to be safely applicable.
