Artery Obstruction

Thromboendarterectomy is undoubtedly the most widely used method in chronic thromboembolic hypertension treatment. Although surgical treatment is highly effective, it is often associated with high risk of complications. One of the main reasons for impossibility of surgery performance is distal pulmonary artery obstruction. In this case medical therapy or staged balloon angioplasty is considered the treatment of choice. This case report discusses if pulmonary artery angioplasty can be used in patients with proximal pulmonary artery obstruction.

Wedge Pressure

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥25 mm Hg and pulmonary artery wedge pressure ≤15 mm Hg in the presence of occlusive thrombi within the pulmonary arteries. Surgical pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is considered the best treatment option for CTEPH.
