ABSTRACT: Tissue samples from healthy controls were collected from the same patient (n = 10) for both Right ventricle and septum. The tissue samples were collected in the Department of Heart Failure and Transplantology, National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland.
Project description:The present prospective study included a total number of 71 patients with a final diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), who were treated by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at the Kerckhoff Heart and Thorax Center between 2016 and 2020. Biopsies of the free right ventricular wall from 71 patients were collected at baseline (BL) during PEA. In a subgroup of 24 patients, myocardial interventricular septum biopsie were obtained during right heart catheterization (RHC) 12 months after PEA (postPEA) In this case, to account for technical and safety aspects, the specimens were taken from the myocardial interventricular septum. Patients were grouped in severe, intermediat and moderate risk according to 1 year mortality risk by applying a modified version of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines risk stratification model according to their BL characteristics. The aim of the Study was: a) A comparative characterization of RNA-profiles in CTEPH patients with disease status at baseline prior to PEA therapy; b): An assessment of dynamics of the RNA-profiles in CTEPH patients pre and post PEA.
Project description:The present prospective study included a total number of 3 patients with a final diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), who were treated by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at the Kerckhoff Heart and Thorax Center between 2016 and 2020. Biopsies of the myocardial interventricular septum from 3 patients were collected at baseline (BL) before PEA surgery (pre-septal-PEA) In this case, to account for technical and safety aspects, the specimens were taken from the myocardial interventricular septum. The aim of the Study was a comparative characterization of RNA-profiles of septum in CTEPH patients after PEA surgery (postPEA) compared to before PEA surgery (pre-septal-PEA).
Project description:The present prospective study included a total number of 9 patients with a final diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), who were treated by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) at the Kerckhoff Heart and Thorax Center between 2016 and 2020. Biopsies of theright ventricularfreewall from9patients were collected at baseline (BL) before PEA surgery (prePEA). Patients were grouped in severe and moderate risk groups according to 1 year mortality risk by applying a modified version of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines risk stratification model according to their BL characteristics. The aim of the Study was a comparative characterization of RNA-profiles in CTEPH patients with disease status at baseline prior to PEA therapy

Project description:Chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease is an important cause of severe pulmonary hypertension, and as such is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The prognosis of this condition reflects the degree of associated right ventricular dysfunction, with predictable mortality related to the severity of the underlying pulmonary hypertension. Left untreated, the prognosis is poor. Pulmonary endarterectomy is the treatment of choice to relieve pulmonary artery obstruction in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and has been remarkably successful. Advances in surgical techniques along with the introduction of pulmonary hypertension-specific medication provide therapeutic options for the majority of patients afflicted with the disease. However, a substantial number of patients are not candidates for pulmonary endarterectomy due to either distal pulmonary vascular obstruction or significant comorbidities. Therefore, careful selection of surgical candidates in expert centres is paramount. The current review focuses on the diagnostic approach to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and the available surgical and medical therapeutic options.
