Can regional cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring during circulatory arrest time predict postoperative neurological dysfunction in patients undergoing surgical pulmonary thromboendarterectomy? Useful index for short‐ and long‐term outcomes

Journal of cardiac surgery, 2022
A hypothermic circulatory arrest is usually used to correct thoracic aorta pathologies. The emergency treatment of acute type A aortic dissection and elective repair of aortic arch pathologies are the most common indications for using hypothermic ...

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy in a patient with cryoagglutinins

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2000
PATIENTS with undiagnosed cold-reactive protein (CRP) disease undergoing hypothermia are at high risk of major morbidity and mortality if they are not identified and treated before surgery.1 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension may be cured by pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), for which deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest (DHCA) are ...

Predictors of mortality in pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
The operative mortality associated with surgical thromboendarterectomy of the pulmonary arteries has decreased at the University of California in San Diego with the application of new techniques. For universal performance of the procedure, however, those factors that contribute to the high operative mortality must be identified. We analyzed our results

Technique of Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy for Chronic Pulmonary Embolism

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1989
Pulmonary embolism infrequently results in severe chronic pulmonary arterial obstruction. However, when it does, affected patients are significantly symptomatic and have shortened survival. Medical management has proven ineffective. In the majority of surgical reports, unilateral thoracotomy with distal pulmonary arteriotomies has been emphasized.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy in adolescents and young adults

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2010
AbstractObjectivesChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) occurs in patients with recurrent or chronic pulmonary embolism, and is a rare but potentially devastating disease in adolescents and young adults. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is an important curative therapy for patients with CTEPH.
