At baseline, patients had severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary vasc...
متن کاملMedical Therapy in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but life-threatening condition resulting from unresolved thromboembolic obstructions. Pulmonary endarterectomy surgery is currently the standard of treatment, as it is potentially curative; however, not all cases are amenable to surgical intervention due to distal distribution of the organized thromboembolic material or the presenc...
