为什么选择UCLA健康中心进行肺血管疾病护理?

Doctors at 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康 diagnose and treat all types of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD), 影响肺部血管的疾病. Our experts pioneer minimally invasive techniques and groundbreaking surgeries to treat these conditions. 我们课程的亮点包括:

训练有素的专家: 在皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校肺血管疾病项目, 我们专门从事其他地方没有的高级治疗. 这些治疗需要经验丰富的团队的高水平技术.

Multispecialty团队: 介入放射学专家, 心胸外科手术, 重症监护医学, 肺科和心脏病科密切合作，协调你的治疗. 我们的团队合作方式使我们能够提供有效的护理.

无与伦比的专业知识: Our team is one of only a few in the country with experience diagnosing and treating chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), 一种罕见的肺动脉高压(肺部的高血压). 被诊断患有CTEPH的人从世界各地来到我们这里. We’re also one of the largest medical centers in the nation for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), 肺部的高血压会导致心脏增大.

我们的护理领域

We use the most advanced technology to diagnose a range of pulmonary vascular conditions. Our renowned specialists meet regularly to discuss patient care and develop customized treatment plans for each patient. 我们提供:

精确的诊断

使用复杂的成像测试, we deliver a timely diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan for you. 我们使用的一些测试包括:

双超声: This imaging technique helps your physician assess blood flow and evaluate blood vessels in the legs. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, 组织和器官.

超声心动图(心电图): This painless test uses ultrasound technology to show images of the heart. Your doctor looks at the images to check your heart’s size and see how it’s working.

成像研究: 我们的专家使用CT扫描, 胸部x光和核磁共振成像来绘制肺部的详细图像, 心脏和血管.

肺血管造影: 你的医生给你穿了一根导管, flexible tube) to your pulmonary artery (blood vessel that goes from the heart to the lungs). The doctor inserts dye through the catheter and into the artery to produce clear images. 这个测试可以让你的医生测量动脉的压力, 寻找血凝块和堵塞.

通气灌注扫描(V/Q扫描): 对于这个测试, your physician places a small amount of a radioactive dye in the lungs that helps produce clearer images. Your doctor then does a scan that shows how air moves through the lungs and looks for areas that aren’t receiving enough blood.

PVD的个体化治疗方案

As leaders in innovative techniques, we deliver safe, effective treatments. Our experts individualize each treatment plan based on the type of disease, 它的严重性和你的整体健康.

Your PVD care team may recommend medications, a minimally invasive procedure or open surgery. 我们关心fully consider your well-being and work with you to determine the best way forward.

我们治疗肺血管疾病

Pulmonary vascular diseases affect the blood vessels that go from the heart to the lungs. Untreated, these conditions can cause breathing difficulties, chest pain and heart failure. 它们可能是致命的. 我们有治疗经验:

肺栓塞(PE): This life-threatening condition happens when a blood clot forms in a blood vessel somewhere in the body (usually in the leg) and travels to the lung. The blood clot, which is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), travels to the lung. 肺部的血块会阻碍血液流向身体其他部位.

肺动脉高压(PAH): High blood pressure in the lungs causes the right side of the heart to become enlarged. This life-threatening condition results in shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain.

慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压(CTEPH): CTEPH is a type of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) that can develop after a pulmonary embolism. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, chest pain and dizziness.

我们提供PVD治疗

我们专门从事肺血管疾病的先进治疗. 有几十年治疗这些疾病的经验, 我们的高技能团队成员是该领域的国际领导者. 治疗方法包括:

治疗肺血管疾病的药物

Your physician may recommend medications to control symptoms and help you feel better. 你可以口服这些药物, through a vein or through an infusion pump that delivers medication continuously.

视情况而定, 你可能需要药物来分解血凝块, 稀释血液或放松血管中的肌肉. 我们与您一起确定最佳选择. Our team monitors your health so we can adjust medications if your needs change.

微创手术

As leaders in pulmonology, our specialists perform minimally invasive techniques to treat PVD. These procedures involve smaller incisions and less recovery time than open surgery. 我们的专长是:

球囊肺动脉成形术(BPA): 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康 is one of only a few medical centers in the world to offer this treatment for CTEPH. 这种微创手术使用导管(一根长导管), 细管)扩张肺动脉. 扩张可以缓解压力，促进血液流动.

经皮血栓切除术: To treat an embolism (blockage in a blood vessel), we thread a catheter to the area. Guided by X-ray images, your physician either removes the embolism, breaks it up or dissolves it.

腔静脉过滤器: 使用导尿管, we place a small metal device in the vena cava (the large blood vessel that returns blood from the body to the heart). 该设备在血凝块进入肺部之前过滤掉它们.

手术治疗肺栓塞和肺动脉高压

如果你需要手术治疗肺血管疾病, 我们的专家在先进技术方面处于全国领先地位. 我们擅长:

肺血栓动脉内膜切除术(PTE): This procedure treats CTEPH by removing blood clots from arteries in the lung. 如果不治疗，这些血凝块会形成疤痕并导致呼吸问题. Our experts remove the clots during this delicate surgery, which can cure CTEPH.

肺栓子切除术: 在肺栓塞切除术期间, we remove large pulmonary embolisms and those that can’t be treated with other methods.

肺移植: The 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康 Lung Transplant Program is one of the most successful in the nation. We perform more lung transplants than most medical centers in the United States. 了解更多关于皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康肺移植项目的信息.
