Descriptive Analysis of Oxygen Dependency and Hemodynamic Changes Following Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Patients.

Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by persistent clot burden and secondary vascular remodeling. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) remains the preferred curative treatment for CTEPH. This study presents a descriptive analysis of surgical outcomes in patients undergoing PTE for CTEPH at a tertiary referral hospital.
