Change in Right-to-Left Shunt Fraction in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension after Pulmonary Endarterectomy

Change in Right-to-Left Shunt Fraction in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension after Pulmonary Endarterectomy

Background: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) with accessible lesions. Breathing pure oxygen (hyperoxia) during right heart catheterization (RHC) allows for the calculation of the right-to-left shunt frac...
