Key result
Specialized perioperative care and PEA treat over 500 CTEPH patients at a single expert center.
Why the study?
Patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension present unique anesthetic and intensive care challenges due to right heart failure and high risk of perioperative complications.
Centralized expert care utilizing specialized anesthetic and intensive care protocols is essential for managing the complex hemodynamics and mitigating severe complications in patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy for CTEPH.
Supports expert-center PEA programs in CTEPH; leaves open generalizability and optimal protocol standardization.

Kunstýř et al. (2024) conducted a review in Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) (n=500). Pulmonary endarterectomy and specialized perioperative care was evaluated. Over 500 patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension have been treated with pulmonary endarterectomy and specialized perioperative care over 20 years at a Czech expert center.
