Embolisation of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations: no consistent effect on pulmonary artery pressure.
Increasing evidence supports the use of embolisation to treat pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Most pulmonary AVM patients have hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a condition that may be associated with pulmonary hypertension. The current authors tested whether pulmonary AVM embolisation increases pulmonary artery pressure (P(pa)) in patients without baseline severe pulm...
متن کاملDoes the Platelet Index Have a Guiding Role in the Association of Cancer and Pulmonary Thromboembolism?
Introduction: The diagnostic value of the D-dimer test varies with variable platelet numbers and functions in patients suffering from cancer and concomitant pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). This requires easy and reliable evaluation tests. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that platelet functions may be more guiding in the prediction and diagnosis of PTE rather than the numb...
متن کاملEmbolisation for pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are abnormal direct connections between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein which result in a right-to-left shunt. They are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality mainly from the effects of paradoxical emboli. Potential complications include stroke, cerebral abscess, pulmonary haemorrhage and hypoxaemia. Embolisation is an endova...
