Comparison between studies utilizing embolization techniques to create large animal pulmonary hypertension models.

Abstract

<p>Data expressed as mean (SD) unless stated otherwise. SB: spontaneous breathing.</p><p>^a Per protocol.</p><p>^bCompared with baseline (vs. control group).</p><p>^cOnly reported in 2/5 cases.</p><p>^dIndexed (BSA).</p><p>^eMedians (IQR) reported.</p><p>NR = not reported. RHC, right heart catheterization; mPAP, mean pulmonary artery pressure; Δ mPAP, change in mean pulmonary artery pressure; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; Δ PVR, change in pulmonary vascular resistance; RV/(LV+S), right ventricular weight divided by left ventricular + septum weight (Fulton index); Δ RV/(LV+S), change in right ventricular weight divided by left ventricular + septum weight (Fulton index); RV, right ventricle.</p><p>Comparison between studies utilizing embolization techniques to create large animal pulmonary hypertension models.</p
