Background: Between 2002 and 2011, the incidence of severe primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in Dutch women with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and hemophilia carriers (HCs) was 8% vs 4.5% in the general population.
Objectives: To determine the contemporary incidence of severe primary PPH in women with VWD and HCs.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines complications associated with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients, focusing on how pulmonary hemodynamics affect outcomes.
- Out of 87 patients treated with a total of 426 BPAs, complications were reported in 14% of procedures, primarily mild, with notable differences based on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP).
- Patients with higher PVR (>6.6 WU) and mPAP (>45 mmHg) experienced significantly more complications and thoracic issues, emphasizing the relationship between poor pulmonary hemodynamics and increased risk during BPA.
