Diagnostic and therapeutic progress of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
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.
