Why the study?
Does thromboendarterectomy improve hemodynamics and survival in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension?
Does thromboendarterectomy improve hemodynamics and survival in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension?
Thromboendarterectomy is a recognized treatment for improving hemodynamics and survival in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Supports thromboendarterectomy in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of long-term outcomes.
One cause of pulmonary hypertension is chronic thromboembolic obstruction of the pulmonary arteries. If this condition is recognized, thromboendarterectomy can lead to improvements in hemodynamics and in survival.
