Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Treated with Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty

Michael Westhoff, Thorsten Hardebusch, Andreas Breithecker, Bennet Steudel et autres

Angiomatous lesions may be origin of even asymptomatic thromboembolic events. We report an older patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Syndrome who presented with huge angiomatous lesions of the left upper extremity, slowly progressive dyspnea due to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Since birth his left …

Patient-Reported Long-Term Outcome of Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty for Inoperable CTEPH

Christoph B. Wiedenroth, Kristin Steinhaus, Andreas Rolf, Andreas Breithecker et autres

Abstract Background Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a promising interventional treatment for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Evidence in favor of BPA is growing, but long-term data remain scarce. The Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) is validated for the assessment …

Successful simultaneous stenting of a pulmonary artery and vein in pulmonary vascular stenosis due to silicosis. Case report and literature review

Michael Westhoff, Thorsten Hardebusch, P Litterst, Andreas Breithecker et autres

A 58-year-old patient was admitted to the emergency department due to severe respiratory insufficiency. Anamnesis revealed that the patient had experienced increasing stress dyspnea for a few months. Upon imaging, an acute pulmonary embolism was excluded, but peribronchial and hilar soft tissue …

Value of Right and Left Ventricular T1 and T2 Blood Pool Mapping in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Hypertension before and after Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty

Fritz Roller, Armin Schüßler, Nils Kremer, Sebastian Harth et autres

Background: Parametric imaging has taken a steep rise in recent years and non-cardiac applications are of increasing interest. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) blood pool T1 and T2 values in patients with …

Effects of BPA on right ventricular mechanical dysfunction in patients with inoperable CTEPH – A cardiac magnetic resonance study

Fritz Roller, Armin Schüßler, Alexander Hasse, Steffen D. Kriechbaum et autres

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess effects of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) on right ventricular (RV) mechanical dysfunction in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) via MRI. METHOD: MRI at 1.5 Tesla and right heart catheterization were …

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: recent advances and future perspectives

Christoph B. Wiedenroth, Stefan Guth, Steffen D. Kriechbaum, Andreas Breithecker et autres

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension constitutes a significant late sequela of pulmonary embolism. It is defined by precapillary pulmonary hypertension with mismatched perfusion defects and pulmonary arterial lesions after at least 3 months of effective anticoagulation. Symptomatic patients who do not have pulmonary …

Noninvasive prediction of pulmonary hemodynamics in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension by electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography

Selcuk Murat Yildiz, Steffen D. Kriechbaum, Sebastian Harth, Andreas Breithecker et autres

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) as a predictor of disease severity in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). METHOD: Forty-five CTEPH patients with a mean age of …

T2-Mapping bei Patienten mit inoperabler chronisch thromboembolischer pulmonaler Hypertonie (CTEPH) vor und 6 Monate nach pulmonaler Ballonangioplastie (BPA)

A Hasse, V Bethke, Manuel J. Richter, Alexander Brose et autres

Zielsetzung Bei Patienten mit pulmonaler Hypertonie konnten bereits vielversprechende Korrelationen von nativem T1-Mapping zu Rechtsherzfunktion und pulmonaler Hämodynamik gezeigt werden. Erhöhte native T1-Zeiten werden dabei als Ausdruck einer myokardialen Fibrose interpretiert, wobei myokardiale Ödeme in der pathophysiologischen Kaskade lange vor Fibrose entstehen. …
