  • Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the primary treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), and this study reviews the outcomes of 102 patients over a 10-year period, highlighting advancements in surgical techniques.
  • The authors divided the patients into three groups based on the timing of their surgery and noted that postoperative complications decreased significantly in the most recent group (group 3) compared to the earlier groups.
  • Their findings indicate that the improvements made in anesthetic and surgical methods contributed to better patient outcomes, with a majority achieving a functional class of I-II within 3 to 6 months after surgery.
