Comparative Study[Use of dual-energy computed tomographic angiopulmonography in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after pulmonary artery thromboendarterectomy].
To estimate the contribution of dual-energy computed tomographic (CT angiopulmonography t o a diagnostic algorithm in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and its role in the evaluation of postoperative changes. ⋯ Information on the vascular bed and pulmonary perfusion may be obtained in patients with CTEPH within one investigation, which is important to plan surgical treatment. Construction of iodine pulmonary perfusion maps allows evaluation of perfusion recovery after artery thromboendarterectomy.
