Abstract

This study investigated whether residual pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined as early postoperative mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of ≥30 mmHg, after undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) was associated with long-term survival. All patients who underwent PEA for CTEPH at two Scandinavian centers were included in this study. Baseline characteristics and vital statuses were obtained from patient charts and national health-data registers. The patients were then categorized based on residual PH measured via right heart catheterization within 48 h after undergoing PEA. Crude and weighted flexible parametric survival models were used to estimate the association between residual PH and all-cause mortality and to quantify absolute survival differences. From 1992 to 2020, 444 patients underwent surgery. We excluded 6 patients who died on the day of surgery and 12 patients whose early postoperative pulmonary hemodynamic data was unavailable. Of the total study population (n = 426), 174 (41%) and 252 (59%) patients had an early postoperative mPAP <30 and ≥30 mmHg, respectively. After weighting, there was a significant association between residual PH and all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 2.49; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.60–3.87), and the absolute survival difference between the groups at 10 and 20 years was –22% (95% CI: –32% to –12%) and–32% (95% CI: –47% to –18%), respectively. A strong and clinically relevant association of residual PH with long-term survival after PEA for CTEPH was found. After accounting for differences in baseline characteristics, the absolute survival difference at long-term follow-up was clinically meaningful and imply careful surveillance to improve clinical outcomes in these patients. Early postoperative right heart catheter measurements of mPAP seem to be helpful for prognostication following PEA for CTEPH.

Abstract

We present the successful treatment of a large solid right atrial thrombus by the catheter-based suction embolectomy system AngioVac® (AngioDynamics, NY, USA). A previously healthy 60-year-old male was referred with acute pulmonary embolism, a large deep vein thrombus and a large right atrial thrombus. After one week of anticoagulation, the size of the atrial thrombus was unaltered, and the patient was treated by catheter-directed embolectomy using the AngioVac system. The solid thrombus occluded the catheter during the procedure. With the vacuum maintained, the occluded catheter was removed from the patient and the thrombus mass was removed. The remaining atrial thrombus was successfully removed by suction after the reinsertion of the catheter. The patient recovered well and was discharged 7 days after the procedure. The therapy was safe and minimally invasive.

28. Diagnosis and treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in Denmark

Author

Pedersen, Charles Marinus, Mellemkjær, Søren, Nielsen-Kudsk, Jens Erik, Korsholm, Kasper, Andersen, Gratien, and Ilkjær, Lars Bo

Abstract

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an important differential diagnosis in patients with unexplained dyspnoea. CTEPH is under-recognized and carries a poor prognosis without treatment. Surgical pulmonary endarterectomy is the preferred treatment for the majority of patients. Advances in surgical and anaesthetic techniques and post-operative intensive treatment have reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary endarterectomy results in major improvement of haemodynamics and clinical status and offers excellent long-term survival. It is most often a curative treatment. The surgical treatment of CTEPH in Denmark is centralized at Aarhus University Hospital. Pulmonary vasodilators and pulmonary balloon angioplasty are supplementary treatment options in this patient group.

35. Acute pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest treated with thrombolysis and an automatic chest compression device

Author

Tranberg, Tinne, Vagner, Nis-Joachim, Christensen, Alf, Ilkjær, Lars, and Terkelsen, Christian Juhl

Abstract

Survival after pulseless electrical activity cardiac arrest is poor. In this case report we describe a patient who had acute massive pulmonary embolism and was treated with thrombolysis and an automatic mechanical chest compression device, Lund University Cardiac Arrest System (LUCAS 2). Chest compressions were effectively provided for two hours during a prolonged resuscitation and transferral for pulmonary embolectomy. The patient was extubated one day after the operation and discharged with normal cerebral function nine days after the cardiac arrest.

48. Outcome of Transurethral Prostatectomy in Men over 80 Years.

Author

Ilkjær, Lars Bo, Lund, Lars, and Nielsen, Knud Thygesen

Abstract

Two-hundred-and-twenty-nine men aged between 80 and 97 years (mean 83 years) underwent transurethral prostatectomy (TUR-P) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). All case records were reviewed. The follow-up period was 6-16 years. One-hundred-and-seven patients underwent operation because of acute urinary retention, and 122 because of chronic retention. The mean weight of tissue removed was 20 g (1-200 g). The perioperative mortality (<1 month) was 2% (5 patients). Postoperative complications occurred in 21% (49 patients). Reoperation was performed in 11% (26 cases). The result was considered satisfactory in 196 patients (86%). The present data demonstrate that transurethral resection of the prostate in men over 80 years has a good outcome with an acceptable urological complication rate and mortality, and we therefore advocate surgery instead of watchful waiting in the fit patient.

49. Amphetaminmisbrug medførende akut hjertetransplantation

Author

Abstract

We present a case showing that intake of amphetamine can cause severe anterior myocardial infarction with acute severe pump failure. Acute angiography revealed massive proximal thrombotic occlusion of the LAD, the first diagonal branch and septal branches in a 28-year-old man. Thrombectomy, balloon dilation and stenting were performed. Spasm thrombus interplay was found to be the likely mechanism. Due to the massive infarction, extremely depressed left ventricular performance and hemodynamic instability, the patient underwent successful heart transplantation. The patient was readmitted to hospital six months later due to chronic vascular rejection of the heart, which lead to the death of the young man.
