Poor subpleural perfusion (PSP) in the capillary phase of pulmonary angiography predicts worse outcomes following pulmonary endarterectomy in operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has emerged as a treatment for nonoperable CTEPH. The goal of the present article was to assess the association between PSP and BPA failure.
5237. The Evolutional History of Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy: State of the Art.
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) has come a long way from the early roots of electromagnetic theory. Current ENB devices have the potential to change the way lung cancer is detected and treated. This paper provides an overview of the history, current state, and future of ENB.
5238. Cardiac Cath Labs: Their Origins and Their Future.
More than 1 million diagnostic cardiac catheterizations (excluding percutaneous coronary intervention-only procedures) are performed each year in the nearly 2,000 cardiac catheterization laboratories in the United States.1.
