Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism: When Anticoagulation Alone May Not Be Enough

Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism: When Anticoagulation Alone May Not Be Enough

In recent times, pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) has been the subject of growing research due to its persistent impact on morbidity and mortality. Acute PTE, if not properly treated or inadequately treated, can lead to a debilitating condition known as post-PTE syndrome, which has been documented in nearly 50% of survivors. The primary treatment strategy for

FLAME Study: FlowTriever Device in High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism

High-risk pulmonary embolism (HR-PE) is characterized by hemodynamic instability and marked deformation of the right ventricular (RV) fiber, which can lead to acute RV failure and hemodynamic collapse, with in-hospital mortality close to 25%. While guidelines recommend anticoagulant treatment followed by thrombolytics, these strategy carries a high risk of bleeding and is not suitable for

Have Complications Related to Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Changed Since its Inception?

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty: Evolution over time and its complications Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has grown from its beginnings as an indication for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) to being currently a class 1 indication for inoperable patients and/or residual CTEPH. Current evidence on this topic is underpowered, as most reports are based on

We Should Start Considering Pulmonary Hypertension After TAVR

Pulmonary hypertension is associated with higher mortality after both aortic valve replacement and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This is a dynamic phenomenon, and what happens after TAVR —during the periprocedure— and its impact are yet to be evaluated. Researchers conducted a subanalysis of the Japanese OCEAN TAVI Registry, which included 1872 patients who were divided

Melody: One of the Pioneers in Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement with Long Term Outcomes

At 10 years of the Melody Investigational Device Exemption we can observe this device for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement might be a lifetime fix, both to extend the useful life of previously implanted right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) conduits or bioprosthetic pulmonary valves.  Patient enrollment for the US Investigational Device Exemption study of the Melody
