Objective To investigate the changes of pulmonary circulation and right ventricular function after lung volume reduction surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 34 patients of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with single or double lung volume reduction surgery through thoracoscope in our hospital from 2013 through 2014. Ultrasonic testing was conducted peroperatively, on postoperative day 3–5, at 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Results Right ventricular stroke volume (61.00±10.54 ml vs. 38.34±10.04 ml) and right ventricular ejection fraction decreased (58.00%±9.00% vs. 49.00%±10.00%), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (23.35±5.07 mm Hg vs. 29.57±6.32 mm Hg) and total pulmonary vascular resistance (9.28±2.14 mm Hg vs. 12.05±4.36 mm Hg) increased with statistical differences (P＜0.05) on postoperative day 3–5. Right heart ejection fraction was 51%±11% with a statistical increase (P＜0.05) at 1 month after surgery. There was no statistical difference in indicators above between 3 months after surgery and before surgery. Conclusion Changes of pulmonary circulation and right ventricular function may be temporary. Right ventricular dysfunction decreases, pulmonary arterial pressure, and total pulmonary vascular resistance increases on postoperative day 3–5 d. But the changes gradually recover in 1–3 months after surgery, and could be gradually restored to preoperative level.
