Key result
Left ventricular filling pressure successfully guided the timing of surgical interventions for a cerebral aneurysm and severe aortic stenosis in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Why the study?
Determining the timing of surgical intervention for severe aortic stenosis was challenging in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension due to exertional dyspnea.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular filling pressure can be a useful marker for determining the timing of surgical intervention for severe aortic stenosis in patients with complex comorbidities like CTEPH.

Akiyama et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, severe aortic stenosis, cerebral aneurysm (n=1). Perioperative management guided by left ventricular filling pressure was evaluated. Left ventricular filling pressure successfully guided the timing of surgical interventions for a cerebral aneurysm and severe aortic stenosis in a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
