متن کاملPredictors of infection after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is an effective and potentially curative treatment for chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The postoperative course after PEA is accompanied by a number of complications, which contribute to the high rate of early postoperative mortality. Markers allowing the early detection of infectious complication during the postoperative period m...
متن کاملPulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension: an institutional experience.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The aim of this study was to review our initial experience since the implementation of our program. METHODS Data were collected prospectively on all patients who underwent PEA between March 2011 and March 2012. RESULTS Forty-nine patients (20 male, 29...
متن کاملIncidence of chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension following acute pulmonary thrombo-embolism: an Indian perspective.
Chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains a severe disabling disease causing a significant amount of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The incidence and severity of this condition is quite obscure. The initial inciting event, the reason of progression, the natural history of the disease and the predictors of adverse outcomes are not yet adequately clarified. From the India...
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...
