Research on critical care & support devices for paediatric PH

18 February 2026

Presented at PVRI 2026 Congress by Ryan Coleman, Baylor College Of Medicine

Summary

Critical care practices for patients with end-stage PVD and right ventricular failure are explored. The discussion emphasises the need for more research and collaboration among experts to guide treatment options. Various ECMO support strategies are examined, including bridging to recovery and transplant. Patient conditioning during ECMO, focusing on rehabilitation and nutrition, is highlighted, concluding with a call for data collection to enhance treatment approaches.

Echocardiographic Assessment After Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: Which Parameters Reflect Improved Right Ventricular Function?

Traditional echocardiographic measures of right ventricular (RV) function, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and peak systolic velocity at the tricuspid annulus (S’), may be unreliable after cardiac surgery due to changes in loading conditions and myocardial mechanics.
