Controversies over the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
This study is a retrospective analysis of our PAH patients treated in 2020 compared to the dynamics of the last 12 years. We had 48 PAH patients, 51.72±16.64 years, 72.91% female. All patients had chronic anticoagulant therapy(58.33%) and/or antiplatelet; 33.33% had long term oxygen therapy. Three patients with secondary forms were confirmed with COVID-19, all hospitalized (6.25% infection rate versus 3.29% in general). One patient died(75 years with scleroderma, stroke), two patients were cured (mild forms). In total only three patients died in 2020. Surprisingly, compared with 2008-2019 (101 patients/ 41 deaths, 3...

Neuroprotective effects of dynamic bubble trap use in patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy: a two-arm randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: DBT positively influences memory function after PEA. This effect is most likely caused by the reduction of gaseous microemboli.TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study is registered in the German Clinical Trials Register, ID: DRKS00021499.PMID:34795929 | PMC:PMC8575830 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-21-831
