متن کاملPulmonary thromboendarterectomy almost 50 years after the first surgical attempts.
With increased experience in preoperative evaluation, surgical approach and postoperative care of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary thromboendarterectomy can be performed with an acceptably low risk of death. Most patients, even those in a very compromised state, have excellent, long lasting results.
متن کامل[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 کاملPreoperative partitioning of pulmonary vascular resistance correlates with early outcome after thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the preferred treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but persistent pulmonary hypertension after PTE, as a result of either inaccessible distal thrombotic material or coexistent intrinsic small-vessel disease, remains a major determinant of poor outcome. Conventional preoperative evaluation is unreliable in identi...
متن کاملPulmonary artery size and late functional outcome after Fontan operation.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery (PA) growth after a Fontan procedure tends to be suboptimal to somatic growth. This study aimed to investigate whether the PA size affects the late outcomes of the Fontan procedure. METHODS This study enrolled 120 Fontan patients. Their mean age was 19.3 ± 5.6 years. PA size was measured from computed tomographic images. Patients were divided into three groups acco...
