OP-079 The Effect of Septoplasty on Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Right Ventricular Function in Nasal Septum Deviation




Aim


Nasal septum deviation (NSD) can cause obstruction of the upper airway, which may lead to increased pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and right ventricle dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of septoplasty on right ventricle function and mean PAP of patients with marked NSD.




Methods


25 patients with marked NSD (mean age= 31.8±12.3 years) and 27 healthy volunteers (mean age= 34.5±10.8 years) were enrolled. Echocardiography was performed for all subjects and right ventricle function and mean PAP were evaluated before and three months after septoplasty.




Methods


25 patients with marked NSD (mean age= 31.8±12.3 years) and 27 healthy volunteers (mean age= 34.5±10.8 years) were enrolled. Echocardiography was performed for all subjects and right ventricle function and mean PAP were evaluated before and three months after septoplasty.




Results


Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and tricuspid annulus early diastolic myocardial velocity (E′) were significantly lower in patients with NSD than control subjects while right ventricle myocardial performance index (RVMPI) and mean PAB were significantly higher (respectively, p= 0.006, 0.037, 0.049, 0.046). When preoperative and postoperative findings were compared, mean PAB decreased whereas TAPSE increased significantly (respectively, p = 0.007, 0.03).
