[Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension].
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 From June 1999 to November 2003, 40 of these procedures...
متن کاملPulmonary Thromboendarterectomy for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
1255 May 2014 C HRONIC thromboembolic pulmonary disease is an important cause of severe pulmonary hypertension and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. At 2-yr follow-up, 3.8% of survivors of an acute pulmonary embolic event develop chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) defined as a persistent mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mmHg for 6 months ...
متن کاملPerfusion techniques for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy under deep hypothermia circulatory arrest: a case series.
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a complicated surgical procedure that is an effective treatment in reducing pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension usually results from incomplete lysis of a large organized thrombus in the main pulmonary artery and secondary branches, le...
متن کاملQuantifying the learning curve for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy
BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is an effective treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but is a technically challenging operation for cardiothoracic surgeons. Starting a new program allows an opportunity to define a learning curve for PTE. METHODS A retrospective case review was performed of 134 consecutive PTEs performed from 1998 to 2016 at a s...
متن کاملPulmonary thromboendarterectomy in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
hypertension (CTEPH) develops in 1-3% of cases following acute pulmonary embolism. The disease is underdiagnosed and under-treated, as statistical studies have shown. Identification of patients with CTEPH is difficult since 90% of them have no apparent disturbance of the coagulation mechanism. CTEPH is a progressive disease, the result of the incomplete lysis of large organised thrombus in the ...
