Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by mechanical
obstruction of large pulmonary arteries secondary to one or more episodes of pulmonary …

According to a widespread theory, thrombotic masses are not formed in the pulmonary artery
(PA) but result from migration of blood clots from the venous system. This concept has …

Through the introduction of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for
diagnosis of the pulmonary embolism (PE), the high sensitivity of this diagnostic tool led to …

examinations. Materials and methods Thirty-one patients with PAH (group 1; n= 19) and …

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and underdiagnosed
complication of acute pulmonary embolism (APE). CTEPH is a common cause of pulmonary …

Percutaneous transluminal pulmonary angioplasty (PTPA), or balloon pulmonary
angioplasty, has been the focus of much attention and has rapidly been established as a …

Background Distinguishing chronic major vessel thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
from primary pulmonary hypertension is critical because the treatment options differ …

Nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism (NTPE) is less well understood and is encountered less
