Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in young woman with history of caesarian section

چکیده
Hipertensi pulmonal tromboemboli kronik merupakan salah satu subgrup dari hipertensi pulmonal. Penyakit ini merupakan kondisi medis yang sangat serius dan seringkali tidak terdiagnosis. Hipertensi pulmonal tromboemboli kronik umumnya tidak terdiagnosis karena gejala yang tidak spesifik dan kurangnya alat diagnostik. Tujuan presentasi ini adalah untuk menjelaskan mengenai etiologi, faktor resiko, diagnosis dan manajemen hipertensi pulmonal tromboemboli kronik. Wanita berusia 36 tahun datang dengan keluhan utama mudah lelah dan sesak bila beraktifitas sejak dua tahun yang lalu. Gejala ini timbul sekitar tiga bulan setelah melahirkan dengan seksio caesaria atas indikasi preeklampsi. Anamnesa lebih lanjut, pemeriksaan fisik, EKG dan ekokardiografi sangat mendukung ke arah diagnosis hipertensi pulmonal. Dari pemeriksaan sonografi vaskuler femoral tidak didapatkan adanya trombosis vena dalam (DVT). Scan perfusi paru menunjukkan bahwa pasien ini mengalami hipertensi pulmonal tromboemboli kronik. CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) tidak mendapatkan adanya trombus sehingga pasien ini tidak layak dioperasi endarterektomi pulmonal. Pasien ini kemudian diterapi dengan vasodilator pulmonal, ACE inhibitor, diuretik dan mendapat antikoagulan oral untuk seumur hidup. Abstract
