title: [Pulmonary artery pressure in the pathophysiology of lung-resections therapy. Part I: standard values, surgical lung diseases, postoperative death rate (author's transl)].
abstract: The early death rate after lung-resections is caused mainly by right heart failure. The level of pulmonary blood pressure plays a decisive role in this respect. In patients with surgical lung diseases the blood pressure is significantly higher in several parts of lung circulation than in healthy persons. The early death rate after operation was found to be increased in patients with a higher level of preoperative pulmonary artery pressure.
