Impact of Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction on Right Ventricular Myocardial Function
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) provides a minimally invasive therapy for patients with severe lung emphysema. As its impact on right ventricular (RtV) function is undefined, we examined the extent of RtV functional changes following ELVR, as assessed by use of speckle tracking-based RtV deformation analysis. METHODS We enrolled 32 patients with severe emphysematous COPD ...
متن کاملEndoscopic lung volume reduction.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a category of diseases characterized by chronic airflow obstruction and hyperinflation. The GOLD committee and the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society have published detailed, evidence-based reviews of management approaches, providing stepped-care algorithms for pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapy. Over the past several d...
متن کاملNormal myocardial function in severe right ventricular volume overload hypertrophy.
Severe left ventricular volume overloading causes myocardial and cellular contractile dysfunction. Whether this is also true for severe right ventricular volume overloading was unknown. We therefore created severe tricuspid regurgitation percutaneously in seven dogs and then observed them for 3.5-4.0 yr. All five surviving operated dogs had severe tricuspid regurgitation and right heart failure...
متن کاملLung transplantation after endoscopic lung volume reduction.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) has become an established treatment option in selected patients with end-stage lung emphysema. ELVR, however, does not always prevent disease progression, and patients may inevitably be considered for lung transplantation. OBJECTIVES Currently, limited data exist regarding the impact of preceding ELVR on lung transplantation outcomes. METHO...
متن کاملEndobronchial Valves for Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction: Best Practice Recommendations from Expert Panel on Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction
Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) is being adopted as a treatment option for carefully selected patients suffering from severe emphysema. ELVR with the one-way endobronchial Zephyr valves (EBV) has been demonstrated to improve pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with both heterogeneous and homogenous emphysema without collateral ventilation. In this “exp...
