U.S., May 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07577700) titled 'Assessment of Pulmonary Perfusion and Hemodynamic Measurements by Electrical Impedance Tomography in Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy.' on Feb. 10.
Brief Summary: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a condition in which old blood clots block the blood vessels in the lungs, making it harder for the heart to pump blood through the lungs. Surgery called pulmonary thromboendarterectomy can remove these clots and improve blood flow, but doctors need reliable ways to evaluate lung blood flow before and after surgery.
This study will evaluate a bedside imaging method called electrical impedance tomog...
