Abstract:

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an acute thrombosis of the pulmonary artery that has not been dissolved, which turns into insoluble fibrous thrombosis to block the proximal artery, combined with vascular disease in some small arteries, and blockage of proximal and distal small vessels, increasing pulmonary vascular resistance leads to progressive pulmonary hypertension, which can cause right heart motility failure even death. It is a special type of pulmonary thromboembolism and a common type of pulmonary hypertension. The current main treatments of CTEPH include pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), drug therapy, and interventional therapy.

Key words: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, Balloon pulmonary angioplasty, Pulmonary thrombo endarterectomy
