    © 2023 The Author(s)Objectives: The underlying mechanisms for the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and prognostic biomarkers are not clear yet. Thus, our aim is to assess and identify new biomarkers for the expression of 84 key genes linked to angiogenesis. Methods: Patients who had levels more than 1000 dynes·sec·cm−5 were included in the test group, and the other patients were included in the control group. Twelve specimens were taken from the patients. RT2 Profiler PCR Array (Qiagen) was used to quantify the expression of the 84 key genes. Results: Eight patients (6 male, 2 female, median age 54.4 ± 13.1 years) who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy were included. Pulmonary vascular resistance improved significantly from 811 ± 390 dyn/s/cm−5 to 413.3 ± 144.9 dyn/s/cm−5 (P .005) after surgery. Median length of hospital stay was 11.62 ± 2.97 days. The test group had a distinct pattern of impaired angiogenic and antiangiogenic genes. The expression levels of TGFA, TGFB1, THBS2, THBS1, TGFBR1, SERPINE1, SERPINF1, TGFB2, TIMP2, VEGFC, IFNA1, TNF, CXCL10, NOS3, IGF1, and MMP14 were downregulated in the specimens from the patients who had higher pulmonary vascular resistance values, whereas some genes, including PDGFA, showed upregulation that was statistically nonsignificant in the same group. Conclusions: These results can lead to the development of new markers that could predict adverse outcomes of patients with CTEPH. Identification of new markers that are related to worse outcomes would enable screening patients for early diagnosis and treatment.

    Outcomes of Patients with Behcet's Syndrome after Pulmonary Endarterectomy

    Background Behcet's syndrome (BS) is a multisystem disorder and is not known as a risk factor for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), for which the treatment of choice is pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). The aim of this study was to review our experience in the surgical treatment of CTEPH in patients with BS. Methods Data were collected prospectively for consecutive patients with BS who underwent PEA over a 6-year period. Results We identified nine patients (seven males, two females, mean age: 34.79.9 years) with BS. The mean disease duration before PEA was 88.0 +/- 70.2 months. All patients but one received immunosuppressive therapy before the surgery. Exercise-induced dyspnea presented symptoms in six patients. One patient had associated intracardiac thrombosis. PEA was bilateral in five patients, unilateral in three, and lobar in one. No perioperative mortality was observed; however, one patient died four weeks after PEA due to massive hemoptysis. Morbidity was observed in two patients. The systolic pulmonary artery pressure fell significantly from 59.0 +/- 22.7mm Hg to 30.0 +/- 6.5mm Hg after surgery ( p =0.031). Pulmonary vascular resistance also improved significantly from 611.8 +/- 300.2 to 234.7 +/- 94.9 dyn/s / cm (5) ( p =0.031). After a median follow-up of 29.4 months, all patients improved to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class I and II. Conclusion Patients with BS may suffer recurrent pulmonary embolism and develop CTEPH. In patients who do not respond to anticoagulation or immunosuppressive therapy, PEA may be a therapeutic option when thrombotic lesions are surgically accessible. Due to the high risk of perioperative mortality, the procedure should be undertaken in centers with experience.

    Extracellular matrix collagen biomarker levels in patients who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy
    (2023-04-01) OLGUN YILDIZELİ, ŞEHNAZ; MUTLU, BÜLENT; YILDIZELİ, BEDRETTİN; Zengin A., Kalkan R., Aydin K. Y., OLGUN YILDIZELİ Ş., MUTLU B., Karakoc A. Z., Tas S., Sunar H., Kilic U., Yanartas M., et al.
    OBJECTIVES: The role of extracellular matrix collagen biomarkers in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is not well known. Our goal was to investigate the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 protein levels in patients with CTETH.
