Interventional and surgical modalities of treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension

2004

AbstractBeyond medical therapy, different interventional and surgical approaches exist for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Atrial septostomy has been applied in patients with lack of response to medical therapy in the absence of other surgical treatment options. With growing experience, procedure-related death rates have been reduced to 5.4%, and the most suitable patient group has been identified among patients with a mean right atrial pressure between 10 and 20 mm Hg. Pulmonary endarterectomy is the accepted form of treatment for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Establishing the diagnosis and the classification of the type of lesions by pulm…

CRT-727 Percutaneous Balloon Atrial Septostomy for Direct Left Heart Decompression in Patients on Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation

2014

Severe myocardial dysfunction and added afterload from the Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) arterial cannula may lead to significant rise in left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic and left atrial (LA) pressures. This may result in ischemia, lower likelihood of ventricular recovery and hence
