High perfusion pressure as a predictor of reperfusion pulmonary injury after balloon pulmonary angioplasty for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterised by an elevated average blood pressure in the pulmonary artery (≥ 25 mmHg). This increase is secondary to fibrous organization of thromboembolic obstructions in the pulmonary arteries. CTEPH is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to right-sided heart failure and ventilation-perfusion discrepancy. Therapy i...
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...
متن کاملBalloon pulmonary angioplasty for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), especially when severe in patients unsuited for pulmonary endarterectomy, has a poor prognosis. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a new catheter-based alternative treatment option for patients with inoperable CTEPH. BPA has not been widely accepted, however, primarily because of possible fatal complications, although ...

متن کاملTNFSF15 is an independent predictor for the development of Crohn's disease-related complications in Koreans.
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease involving the whole gastrointestinal tract. TNFSF15 has been proved as a susceptibility gene for CD, but there are few reports about the association between TNFSF15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the clinical course of CD. AIM To investigate the association between TNFSF15 genotypes and the clinical...
