Panelists discuss how pulmonary arterial hypertension diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation including right heart ...

A novel screening approach developed by physicians at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University shows ...

dilated pulmonary-artery trunk, evidence of right-inflow stasis, with widening of the superior vena cava and azygos vein, and, in rarer cases, discernible dilatation of the right ventricle and atrium.

In 15 patients with definite angiographic evidence of embolism involving both lungs, and treated with heparin or venous ligation or both, sequential studies showed only minimal angiographic and ...

Researchers at Stanford have developed a new technology for removing blood clots that is more than twice as effective as ...

When treating an ischemic stroke - where a clot is blocking the flow of oxygen to the brain - every minute counts. The more ...

is usually assessed by measuring pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, right ventricular (RV) function remains the single most important predictor of mortality in patients with PH. Multiple studies have ...

Right ventricular (RV) maladaptation to elevated pulmonary afterload is the primary determinant of outcomes in pulmonary artery (PA) hypertension; however, the pathobiological mechanisms underlying RV ...

When part or all of the clot breaks loose it forms a thromboembolism, which travels through the venous bloodstream, through the right chambers of the heart and into the pulmonary artery ...

Patients with discontinuous pulmonary arteries with a classic Glenn to the right pulmonary artery have insufficient hepatic flow to that lung, and would benefit from surgical intervention to provide ...

When blood goes into the lungs, Dr. Kaner explained, it first goes into the right ventricle, flowing into the pulmonary artery then into the smaller branches that reach the surface of the alveoli.

(C,D) TTE showed the right inferior pulmonary vein (4) draining into the left atrium, with Color Doppler revealing a bright, abnormal flow signal at this site. An orifice (*) representing an abnormal ...
