Postoperative outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is difficult to predict. We analyzed specific angiographic findings to predict the success of pulmonary endarterectomy.

2.Predictors of postoperative outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy from 14 year-experience with 280 patients

Postoperative outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is difficult to predict. We established database of these patients and attempted to analyze specific findings to predict mortality/morbidity and hemodynamic improvement after pulmonary endarterectomy.
