[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...

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 ...

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 کاملPulmonary hypertension complicating pulmonary sarcoidosis
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe complication of sarcoidosis, with an unknown prevalence. The aetiology is multifactorial, and the exact mechanism of PH in the individual patient is often difficult to establish. The diagnostic work-up and treatment of PH in sarcoidosis is complex, and should therefore be determined by a multidisciplinary expert team in a specialised centre. It is still a...
متن کامل[Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension].
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) secondary to chronic thromboembolic obstruction is a severe and potentially fatal condition. At the same time, PAH represents a real diagnostic challenge. This is a lethal disease in which the natural progression in the majority of cases may not be modified by medical therapy. It may be the only etiology radically cured by a complex surgical procedure being...
