The objective of this study was to analyze the immediate and long-term results of the surgical treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in patients with very severe pulmonary hypertension.
Material And Methods: Since February 1996, we performed 160 pulmonary thromboendarterectomies.
