064. ISOLATED PULMONARY VASCULITIS DIAGNOSED HISTOPATHOLOGICALLY AFTER PULMONARY ENDARTERECTOMY: A CASE SERIES

Isolated Pulmonary Vasculitis.

Pulmonary endarterectomy after pulmonary infectious embolisms.

Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a well-established procedure in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTPH). The procedure is known to increase functional outcome and to raise the 5-year survival rate. We report 2 cases of pulmonary valve endocarditis and secondary embolisms causing sustained pulmonary hypertension. Both were treated with PEA. In none of the cases, a...

Pulmonary arterial compliance and exercise capacity after pulmonary endarterectomy.

Patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), despite successful pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), can continue to suffer from a limitation in exercise capacity. The objective of this study was to assess whether pulmonary arterial compliance is a predictor of exercise capacity after PEA. Right heart haemodynamics, treadmill incremental exercise test, spirometry, carbon mono...

Regression of Tricuspid Regurgitation after Pulmonary Endarterectomy

Method We performed analysis of patients who were operated on during the period between years 2004-2011. The data was collected from a set of 100 patients, 65 men and 35 women.
