Thrombophilia and pulmonary endarterectomy.
UNLABELLED In the present study, we compared groups of patients with and without thrombophilia, who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), definitive treatment for chronic pulmonary hypertension resulting from thromboembolic disease. METHODS AND PATIENTS Between September 2004 and June 2007, we operated 54 patients with CTEPH. We divided our patients into three groups. Group I patients, ha...
متن کاملPulmonary endarterectomy: outcomes in patients aged >70.
OBJECTIVES Advanced age is not a barrier to cardiac surgery, with reports demonstrating excellent outcomes, but the effect of age on more complex surgery has not been studied. We assessed the outcomes of pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) surgery in patients aged >70. METHODS A retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent PEA between January 2006 and March 2011 at a national referra...
متن کاملEvaluation of Advanced Echocardiographic Parameters of Right Ventricular in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background and Objective: Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure of the pulmonary artery which leads to right ventricular dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were col...
متن کاملPulmonary 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...
متن کاملOutcomes of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome after pulmonary endarterectomy.
OBJECTIVES Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a risk factor for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, for which the treatment of choice is pulmonary endarterectomy. The increased risk of postoperative thrombotic complications in patients with APS may complicate the perioperative management. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of APS on mortality and morbid...
