Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Patients with Markedly Deviated Septum Candidate for Septorhinoplasty

چکیده
BACKGROUND The nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. This condition increases upper airway resistance. In This study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in patients with markedly deviated septum. METHODS Sixty two patients with NSD (Age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. Mean pulmonary artery pressure was measured in preoperative period by Doppler echocardiography with the assistance of an expert cardiologist. RESULTS The mean preoperative MPAP value (22.5 mmHg in men and 20.03 mmHg in women) of the patients in this study was higher than normal population (20 mmHg). The MPAP of nine patients (14.5%) was greater than 25 mmHg. This value was significantly higher than values for normal population. CONCLUSION Markedly deviated septum had improper effects in cardiovascular system due to increase in MPAP.

متن کاملThe tongue-in-groove technique in septorhinoplasty. A 10-year experience.
BACKGROUND Correction of the lower third of the nose is perhaps the most challenging component of performing a rhinoplasty. The tongue-in-groove (TIG) technique provides a method for correcting excess columellar show and maintaining correction of caudal deviation. It is also indicated for controlling nasal tip rotation and projection while preserving the integrity of the lobular cartilaginous c...
متن کاملThe role of septal surgery in cosmetic rhinoplasty
Septoplasty is performed to resolve breathing problems, but it often becomes pivotal to correct external nasal deviation, representing a central step in rhinoplasty surgery. Even in patients with no functional problems, septal surgery may represent the best solution for obtaining a proper realignment of the external nasal pyramid. One-stage septorhinoplasty has become the standard of treatment ...
متن کاملEfficacy of High Dose Vitamin D on Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Thalassemia Patients Undergoing Blood Transfusion: A Randomized Trial
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may result in cardiomyopathy which is a major cause of death in thalassemia patients. Vitamin D is associated with benefits in cardiovascular disorders. Our purpose was to study effects of vitamin D on pulmonary artery pressure in thalassemia major and intermedia patients. Materials and Methods: This randomized trial was performed on 26 patient...
متن کاملBenefits from the correction of vitamin D deficiency in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Background: Vitamin D (Vit D) is linked to various conditions including musculoskeletal, metabolic and cardiopulmonary diseases. However, it is not clear whether correction of vit D deficiency exerts any beneficial effect in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Methods: This study was a prospective uncontrolled longitudinal study. Patients with pulmonary hypertension and vit D d...
