Periprocedural Risk Predictors Affecting Long-Term Prognosis in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSION: Patients with COPD undergoing isolated CABG had a significantly higher incidence of all-cause death than those without COPD. Herein, risk predictors are provided for all-cause death in patients undergoing isolated CABG.PMID:38494437 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-23-8199 (Source: Texas Heart Institute Journal)

Resolution of Severe Portopulmonary Hypertension With Inhaled Treprostinil and Liver Transplantation
This report presents a case of severe portopulmonary hypertension that resolved with a conservative therapeutic regimen of tadalafil, macitentan, and inhaled treprostinil, which ultimately enabled successful liver transplantation. There was no recurrence of pulmonary hypertension after transplantation, and the patient was weaned off most pulmonary arterial hypertension therapies. This case report is the first to provide evidence that inhaled treprostinil is a safe and effective alternative to continuous intravenous prostacyclins in portopulmonary hypertension.PMID:38483473 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-23-8209 (Source: Texas Heart Institute Journal)
