Abstract:

The study included 72 patients with chronic postembolic pulmonary hypertension who underwent pulmonary trombendarterectomy surgery. Evaluation of the results of surgical treatment was performed in 6-12 months after surgery by using of echocardiography and right heart catheterization. Volume indicators, contractility of the right ventricle, pulmonary artery pressure and resistance of pulmonary circuit vessels were assessed. Multi-spiral computed tomography of pulmonary artery was also performed. It was analyzed the changes of the pulmonary arterial bed depending on the initial pressure in the pulmonary artery. The obtained results show reverse remodeling of the right heart after pulmonary trombendarterectomy surgery. It confirms the positive impact of surgical deobliteration of pulmonary artery branches not only on clinical condition of patients and intracardiac hemodynamics, but also on the recovery of right heart and great arteries sizes. Further study of pulmonary circulation and right heart remodeling will allow not only to predict the outcomes of surgical treatment depending on the initial state of the heart and lungs, but to choose more selectively patients for pulmonary trombendarterectomy focusing not only on personal surgeon's experience but also on objective quantitative indicators.
