CHEST 2023 On Demand Pass-Preoperative Pulmonary Hypertension Shark Tank: An Interactive Experience

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, three case presentations in the field of pulmonary hypertension were discussed. The first case involved a patient with newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who required clearance for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The presenter discussed the risk assessment and optimization strategies for preoperative pulmonary hypertension patients. They emphasized the importance of considering the patient's risk factors, comorbidities, exercise capacity, and surgical factors when making decisions about the best approach for surgery. The second case involved a patient with end-stage renal disease and pulmonary hypertension who required clearance for kidney transplantation. The presenter discussed the challenges of managing pulmonary hypertension in this patient population and highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to decision-making and optimizing the patient's medical management. The third case involved a patient with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who required clearance for elective knee replacement. The presenter discussed the use of risk assessment tools and the importance of accurate hemodynamic assessment to guide decision-making and optimize the patient's care. Overall, the presenters highlighted the complexity of managing pulmonary hypertension in the context of various surgical procedures and the importance of a comprehensive preoperative evaluation and risk assessment.
