Successful pulmonary thromboendarterectomy in a patient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

abstract：:Recent studies have suggested that vasodilators may acutely improve pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cor pulmonale, but the effects of long-term therapy have not been assessed. We evaluated the hemodynamic and gas exchange effects of nitrendipine, a calcium channel bloc...
