These case reports describe patients diagnosed with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH).
  • Condition: Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease
  • Journal: BMC pulmonary medicine

  • Number of Patients: 5
  • Published —
The study researched the effects of targeted therapy for patients with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease.
  • Condition: Recurrent Pulmonary Vein Stenosis (PVS)
  • Journal: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
  • Treatment Used: Stenting vs Balloon Angioplasty (BA)
  • Number of Patients: 113
  • Published —
This study compared the effectiveness of stenting (tiny tube is used to keep a body tube fully open) versus balloon angioplasty (device with a small balloon on its tip is inserted through an artery in the leg or arm and threaded through the arteries until it reaches the narrowed area; BA) in preventing subsequent restenosis (recurrence of a narrowing of a blood vessel) in patients with recurrent pulmonary vein stenosis (condition in which the veins that carry blood from the lungs back to the heart are narrowed; PVS).
  • Condition: Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
  • Journal: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
  • Treatment Used: Various Percutaneous Interventions
  • Number of Patients: 172
  • Published —
In this study, researchers compared the effectiveness of various Various percutaneous interventions for the treatment of pulmonary vein stenosis after pulmonary vein isolation.
  • Condition: Pulmonary Veno-occlusive Disease And Pulmonary Capillary Hemangiomatosis
  • Journal: Respiratory investigation
  • Treatment Used: vasodilators
  • Number of Patients: 20
  • Published —
The purpose of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of vasodilators in the treatment of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis.
  • Condition: Hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome
  • Journal: Pediatric blood & cancer
  • Treatment Used: Defibrotide
  • Number of Patients: 137
  • Published —
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS), is a complication associated with the process of having stem cell transplants or chemotherapy for liver cancer, which causes damage to some of the blood vessels in the liver. Multi-organ dysfunction (MOD), or multiple organ failure, is another complication that can occur with VOD/SOS that can increase a patient's risk of death. This study evaluated the effect and safety of defibrotide, a drug treatment for VOD/SOS, in patients who had VOD/SOS after undergoing non-transplant chemotherapy.
  • Condition: Isolated total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
  • Journal: Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery
  • Treatment Used: Total correction
  • Number of Patients: 290
  • Published —
The study researched the outcomes of total correction in patients with isolated total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
