Pulmonary vascular lesions occurring in patients with chronic major vessel thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
The status of small pulmonary arteries may influence diagnosis, surgical selection and postoperative outcome of patients with chronic major vessel thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Therefore, in patients with the established diagnosis of CTEPH, lung tissue was obtained by biopsy (15 patients) or at autopsy (16 patients) to assess the histopathologic composition of small pulmonary a...

BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a disorder characterized by pulmonary arterial hypertension as a consequence of organized thrombotic material in the central pulmonary arteries. Incomplete resolution of acute pulmonary emboli is believed to be pathogenically important; however, the mechanism for poor thrombus dissolution remains to be explained. We undertook t...
