متن کاملBalloon pulmonary angioplasty for treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Although pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is increasingly successful for the definitive treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), not all patients have surgically accessible disease. Others are poor surgical candidates because of comorbid illness. Therefore, for selected patients, we defined and implemented an alternative interventional strategy of balloon pu...
متن کاملBalloon pulmonary angioplasty for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), especially when severe in patients unsuited for pulmonary endarterectomy, has a poor prognosis. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a new catheter-based alternative treatment option for patients with inoperable CTEPH. BPA has not been widely accepted, however, primarily because of possible fatal complications, although ...
متن کاملPulmonary microvascular remodeling after balloon pulmonary angioplasty in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
We herein report a case of peripheral type chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension treated with medical therapy and subsequent balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). After a series of BPA procedures, the patient's hemodynamics almost completely normalized. The patient was later diagnosed with lung carcinoma, and the vasculature of the resected lung demonstrated intimal thickening and lumina...
متن کاملBalloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Improves Biventricular Functions and Pulmonary Flow in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.
BACKGROUND It remains to be determined whether balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) improves biventricular cardiac functions and pulmonary flow in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). METHODSANDRESULTS We enrolled 30 consecutive patients with inoperable CTEPH who underwent BPA, and carried out serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR; M/F, 9/21; median age...
