BACKGROUND: Surgical removal of thromboembolic material by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) leads within months to the improvement of right ventricular (RV) function in the majority of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. However, RV mass does not always normalize. It is unknown whether incomplete reversal of RV remodeling results from extracellular matrix expansion (diffuse interstitial fibrosis) or cellular hypertrophy, and whether residual RV remodeling relates to altered diastolic function.
METHODS: We prospectively included 25 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension treated with PEA. Structured follow-up measurements were performed before, and 6 and 18 months after PEA. With single beat pressure-volume loop analyses, we determined RV end-systolic elastance (Ees), arterial elastance (Ea), RV-arterial coupling (Ees/Ea), and RV end-diastolic elastance (stiffness, Eed). The extracellular volume fraction of the RV free wall was measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and used to separate the myocardium into cellular and matrix volume. Circulating collagen biomarkers were analyzed to determine the contribution of collagen metabolism.
RESULTS: RV mass significantly decreased from 43±15 to 27±11g/m2 (-15.9 g/m2 [95% CI, -21.4 to -10.5]; P<0.0001) 6 months after PEA but did not normalize (28±9 versus 22±6 g/m2 in healthy controls [95% CI, 2.1 to 9.8]; P<0.01). On the contrary, Eed normalized after PEA. Extracellular volume fraction in the right ventricular free wall increased after PEA from 31.0±3.8 to 33.6±3.5% (3.6% [95% CI, 1.2-6.1]; P=0.013) as a result of a larger reduction in cellular volume than in matrix volume (Pinteraction=0.0013). Levels of MMP-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1), TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1), and TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) were elevated at baseline and remained elevated post-PEA.
CONCLUSIONS: Although cellular hypertrophy regresses and diastolic stiffness normalizes after PEA, a relative increase in extracellular volume remains. Incomplete regression of diffuse RV interstitial fibrosis after PEA is accompanied by elevated levels of circulating collagen biomarkers, suggestive of active collagen turnover.
