Apoptosis-based therapy to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is rare, but patients who are diagnosed with this disease still suffer from a lack of satisfactory treatment strategies to prolong survival. While currently approved drugs for PAH have some benefits, these vasodilators only have limited efficacy for eliminating pulmonary vascular remodeling and reducing mortality. Thus, our laboratory has been exploring the...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Denervation to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Methods O f a total of 21 patients with IPAH, 13 patients received the PADN procedure, and the other 8 patients who refused the PADN procedure were assigned to the control group. PADN was performed at the bifurcation of the main PA, and at the ostial right and left PA. Serial echocardiography, right heart catheterization, and a 6-min walk test (6MWT) were performed. The primary endpoints were t...
متن کاملNovel Approaches to Treat Experimental Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Review
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening disease characterized by an increase in pulmonary artery pressure leading to right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy, RV failure, and ultimately death. Current treatments can improve symptoms and reduce severity of the hemodynamic disorder but gradual deterioration in their condition often necessitates a lung transplant. METHOD...
متن کاملTargeting Vascular Remodeling to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) describes a group of conditions with a common hemodynamic phenotype of increased pulmonary artery pressure, driven by progressive remodeling of small pulmonary arteries, leading to right heart failure and death. Vascular remodeling is the key pathological feature of PAH, but treatments targeting this process are lacking. In this review, we summarize importa...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with slow-flow vascular malformations.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension in asymptomatic patients with 2 types of extensive slow-flow vascular malformations: extensive venous malformations or Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS). DESIGN Case-control. SETTING Multidisciplinary center for vascular anomalies. PATIENTS A consecutive sample of 32 patients with slow-flow vascular malformations of a...
