Identifying "super responders" in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pulmonary circulation

Halliday SJ, Hemnes AR.
PMID: 28597766
Pulm Circ. 2017 Apr-Jun;7(2):300-311. doi: 10.1177/2045893217697708. Epub 2017 May 30.

Pharmacotherapeutic options for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have increased dramatically in the last two decades and along with this have been substantial improvements in survival. Despite these advances, however, PAH remains a progressive and ultimately fatal disease for most...

Central line replacement following infection does not improve reinfection rates in pediatric pulmonary hypertension patients receiving intravenous prostanoid therapy.

Pulmonary circulation

McCarthy EK, Ogawa MT, Hopper RK, Feinstein JA, Gans HA.
PMID: 29309237
Pulm Circ. 2018 Jan-Mar;8(1):2045893218754886. doi: 10.1177/2045893218754886. Epub 2018 Jan 08.

Treatment of pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) with IV prostanoids has greatly improved outcomes but requires a central line, posing inherent infection risk. This study examines the types of infections, infection rates, and importantly the effect of line management strategies...

Complications associated with peripherally inserted central catheters and Hickman™ in patients with advanced pulmonary hypertension treated with intravenous prostanoids.

Respiratory medicine

Hinojosa W, Cruz A, Cruz-Utrilla A, Cristo Ropero MJ, López-Medrano F, Gómez I, Arribas-Ynsaurriaga F, Escribano-Subias P.
PMID: 34673343
Respir Med. 2021 Oct 19;189:106649. doi: 10.1016/j.rmed.2021.106649. Epub 2021 Oct 19.

BACKGROUND: Epoprostenol requires continuous infusion and may lead to catheter-related complications. Evidence regarding the comparison between peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) or tunneled central catheters in Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is scarce. We sought to study the incidence of mechanical...

New strategy to resume and taper epoprostenol after lung transplant for pulmonary hypertension.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery

Ohsumi A, Aoyama A, Kinoshita H, Yoneda T, Yamazaki K, Tanaka S, Nakajima D, Ikeda T, Minatoya K, Date H.
PMID: 34978021
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2022 Jan 03; doi: 10.1007/s11748-021-01746-7. Epub 2022 Jan 03.

OBJECTIVE: The perioperative outcome of lung transplantation (LTx) for patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains poor due to the occurrence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) from left ventricular failure. We hypothesized that tapering pretransplant use of epoprostenol rather...

Unexpected Interruptions in the Inhaled Epoprostenol Delivery System: Incidence of Adverse Sequelae and Therapeutic Consequences in Critically Ill Patients.

Critical care explorations

Block JM, Madhok J, Owyang CG, Merriman KR, Ruoss SJ, Rao VK.
PMID: 34671745
Crit Care Explor. 2021 Oct 14;3(10):e0548. doi: 10.1097/CCE.0000000000000548. eCollection 2021 Oct.

OBJECTIVES: Inhaled epoprostenol is a continuously delivered selective pulmonary vasodilator that is used in patients with refractory hypoxemia, right heart failure, and postcardiac surgery pulmonary hypertension. Published data suggest that inhaled epoprostenol administration via vibrating mesh nebulizer systems may...

Inhaled prostacyclin analogues in COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome: scientific rationale.

The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology

Mulia EPB, Luke K.
PMID: 34529182
Egypt Heart J. 2021 Sep 16;73(1):82. doi: 10.1186/s43044-021-00208-y.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) is a severe form of SARS CoV-2 infection and affects about 15-30% of hospitalized patients with a high mortality rate. Growing research and data suggest several available drugs with appropriate pharmacological...

In-vitro and in-vivo comparisons of high versus low concentrations of inhaled epoprostenol to adult intubated patients.

Respiratory research

Respir Res. 2021 Aug 21;22(1):231. doi: 10.1186/s12931-021-01827-4.

BACKGROUND: Inhaled epoprostenol (iEPO) has been shown to reduce pulmonary artery pressure and improve oxygenation. iEPO is mainly delivered via a syringe pump with feed tubing connected to a vibrating mesh nebulizer with high or low formulation concentration delivery.METHODS:...
