ABSTRACT

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensión (CTPH) usually develops as a consequence of an unresolved pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Clinically it can evolucionate from different forms, being in many times similar in its presentation to the idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPH), motive by which is frequently misdiagnosed. The treatment of choice is the pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PT)... An unfrequent case of a patient with a diagnosis of CTPH submitted to non-conventional treatment with pulmonary angioplasty is reported, and later on a revision of diagnosis and treatment is presented.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze factors affecting the outcome of cardiac operations. A number of variables can affect the autcome of cardiac surgical procedures. The success of a cardiac operation is determined by the successful execution of appropiate management. Cardiac dysfunction during the postoperative period after cardiac surgery is a frequent disorders, causing a more prolonged hospital stay, increasing risk of death and larger costs...We studied the incidence of the different dysfunction of the cardiac rhythm, the involved pathophysiological mechanisms, and the management employed

ABSTRACT

Para evaluar el pronóstico en relación con la mortalidad de los pacientes sometidos a cirugía con circulación extracorpórea se diseñó un puntaje compuesto por 21 ítems que incluyen variables pre, intra y posoperatorias. Los pacientes fueron evaluados con dicho puntaje al ingreso y a las 12 horas del posoperatorio inmediato. Se incluyeron 662 pacientes. Tras realizar el análisis estadístico se observó una diferencia significativa en la mortalidad de los pacientes con puntaje menor de 20 puntos y mayor o igual de 21 puntos. La mortalidad de pacientes con puntaje menor o igual a 20 puntos para cirugías programadas fue del 1,7 por ciento y con más de 20 puntos 36 por ciento (p< 0,00001). La mortalidad de pacientes con puntaje menor o igual a 20 puntos para cirugía de urgencia fue del 5,9 por ciento y de pacientes con puntaje superior a 20 puntos 45,5 por ciento (p< 0,01)
