DVT-lesion association in CTEPH is hypothesis-generating; larger prospective studies needed before informing evaluation or management.

In patients with CTEPH undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy, DVT is highly prevalent when assessed by both history and preoperative imaging, and is significantly associated with central-type (Jamieson type 1) disease.
Kobayashi et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) (n=22). Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) vs. No DVT was evaluated on Jamieson type I classification (proximal pulmonary artery thrombi) (p=0.0327). In patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy, the presence of deep vein thrombosis was significantly associated with Jamieson type I proximal pulmonary artery lesions (75% vs 16.7%, p=0.0327).
