Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: the therapeutic assessment

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

JULY 24, 2024

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) is a severe and complex condition that evolves from unresolved pulmonary embolism, leading to fibrotic obstruction of pulmonary arteries, pulmonary hypertension, and potential right heart failure.

Background The treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has improved rapidly in recent decades. There is increasing evidence to support the role of early intervention and treatment in affecting clinical outcomes in PH. Methods Patients were compared before and after treatment escalation.

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

JULY 5, 2024

IntroductionPrimary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare congenital heart disease that proves to be a clinical challenge due to the rapidly progressive disease course and high rates of treatment complications. These 3D reconstructions were 3D printed using a clear resin ink and used in a benchtop experimental setup.

Stent‐in‐Stent Intervention for Pulmonary Vein in Stent Restenosis: A Long‐Term Follow‐Up Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein (PV) restenosis develops with reported incidence rates of up to 50%. Balloon angioplasty seems to be the widely preferred treatment of choice. Conclusion Our case demonstrates stenting as a viable alternative strategy with potentiallyfavorable long-term outcome.

to 10% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), no-reflow is a complication associated with poor outcomes like myocardial infarction extension and death. However, one patient with LVEF 20% died of pulmonary edema 7 hours postangioplasty. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4139207-A4139207, November 12, 2024.

There was a good outcome. Second , if the patient is hemodynamically stable, without pulmonary edema, it may be wise to try some fluids and and benzodiazepines and/or propofol for this post-seizure patient with likely high catecholamine levels. This would treat both SVT or sinus tachycardia. Later, he was found to have used cocaine.

Here is another proven left main occlusion in a young woman who presented with sudden pulmonary edema, had this ECG recorded, then arrested and was resuscitated after 30 minutes of CPR: This has sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, and STE in V2-V6 as well as I, aVL This pattern could just as easily be seen in LAD occlusion.

It is imperative to act swiftly when faced with such a medical emergency to ensure the best possible outcome. Once the patient reaches the hospital, the doctors will attempt to remove the clot using either a potent clot buster medicine [thrombolytic medicines] or a surgery known as primary angioplasty.

Background Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), while balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an alternative for inoperable patients. The TAPSE/systolic pulmonary artery pressure ratio improved similarly in both groups. 95% CI 0.82
