Filter by:Venous phase spectral or dual energy (DE) chest computed tomography (CT) in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) compared to standard computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA): sensitivity, evaluation of iodine mapping and incidental findings.
The investigators aim to evaluate the utility of portal vein pulsatility as a predictor of the composite outcome of persistent organ dysfunction plus death in patients undergoing elective or urgent pulmonary endarterectomy for thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The investigators' hypothesis is that the portal vein pulsatility fraction, measured using transesophageal echocardiography immediately after weaning of cardiopulmonary bypass, is proportional to the risk of developing subsequent end-organ dysfunction in the postoperative setting.
