Abstract

Echocardiographic right ventricular (RV) annular parameters are probably not as reliable to evaluate the surgical success in the postoperative period after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), whereas RV end-diastolic/left ventricular end-diastolic area ratio (RVEDA/LVEDA ratio) could be more useful. This study examined the relationship between RV annular parameters or RVEDA/LVEDA ratio and ideal cardiac index (ICI), before and after PEA.Among 80 patients who underwent PEA, the relationships between RVEDA/LVEDA ratio (21 patients), or tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (32 patients), or systolic tricuspid annular velocity (55 patients) and ICI were modelled.Forty-eight hours following PEA, mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased (26?±?6 vs 46?±?12?mmHg, P?
