[Comparison of pulmonary vascular tortuosity and fractal dimension in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension].
Objective: To compare the differences in pulmonary vascular morphological parameters between patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH), and to explore the value of pulmonary artery morphology in the differential diagnosis of CTEPD and CTEPH. Methods: Thirty-nine patients with CTEPH [14 males, 25 females, mean age: (54.1±12.4) years] and 29 patients with CTEPD [10 males, 19 females, mean age: (51.4±18.0) years] from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively included. The pulmonary artery and vein tree was segmented from the computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) images, and the morphological parameters of pulmonary vessels including the number of pulmonary arteries, pulmonary arterial tortuosity(distance metric, DM) and fractal dimension (FD), were calculated. The differences in pulmonary vascular morphological parameters between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between morphological parameters and hemodynamics was analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in gender and age between CTEPH and CTEPD groups (χ2=0.015,P=0.904 & t=-0.729, P=0.469). The number of pulmonary arteries in CTEPH group (n=249.43±76.27) was significantly lower than that in CTEPF group (n=298.79±78.11, t=2.612, P=0.011). The pulmonary arterial tortuosity in CTEPH group (DM=1.26±0.17) was significantly higher than that in CTEPD group (DM=1.17±0.10, t=3.516, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in FD between CTEPH and CTEPD (FD=3.01±0.21 & 3.08±0.22, t=1.359, P=0.179). The number of pulmonary arteries was negatively correlated with pulmonary vascular resistance (r=-0.325, P=0.026). Pulmonary arterial tortuosity was positively correlated with mean pulmonary artery pressure (r=0.387,P=0.017), and was positively correlated with pulmonary vascular resistance (r=0.647, P<0.001). Conclusion: Pulmonary artery curvature is an important morphological parameter in differentiating CTEPH from CTEPD, and is related to mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance.
