摘要: 慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压(chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension,CTEPH)由肺动脉血栓栓塞后不完全再通和血管重构而形成,在未接受治疗情况下中位生存期仅不到3年,预后差且极易漏诊或误诊。本文就CTEPH的最新诊疗进展作以综述。Abstract: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH) results from incomplete recanalization and remodeling of pulmonary artery after pulmonary thromboembolism. CTEPH patients are often misdiagnosed and have a mean life expectancy of <3 years if untreated. This article reviews the latest clinical progress in diagnosis and treatment of CTEPH.
