    Raising the bar to ultradisciplinary collaborations in management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
    (BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2021-01-01) Akay, Tankut; Kaymaz, Cihangir; Akar, Ahmet Ruchan; Orhan, Gokcen; Yanartas, Mehmed; Gultekin, Bahadir; Sirlak, Mustafa; Kervan, Umit; Tas, Serpil Gezer; Bicer, Murat; Yagdi, Tahir; Ispir, Selim; Dogan, Riza
    Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is an underdiagnosed and potentially fatal subgroup of pulmonary hypertension, if left untreated. Clinical signs include exertional dyspnea and non-specific symptoms. Diagnosis requires multimodality imaging and heart catheterization. Pulmonary endarterectomy, an open heart surgery, is the gold standard treatment of choice in selected patients in specialized centers. Targeted medical therapy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty can be effective in high-risk patients with significant comorbidities, distal pulmonary vascular obstructions, or recurrent/persistent pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy. Currently, there is a limited number of data regarding novel coronavirus-2019 infection in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and the changing spectrum of the disease during the pandemic. Challenging times during this outbreak due to healthcare crisis and relatively higher case-fatality rates require convergence

    Progesterone receptor expression in fibromuscular dysplasia: A report of two unusual cases
    (BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Erkan, Murat; Canberk, Sule; Onenerk, Mine; Sayman, Elif; Gunes, Pembegul; Orhan, Gokcen
    Fibromuscular dysplasia is rarely biopsied. Progesterone receptor expression in myofibroblastic cells is useful for the histopathological evaluation in difficult-to-diagnose cases. Herein, we report two unusual cases of fibromuscular dysplasia in which progesterone receptor expression was shown in vessel sections.
