Clinical Updates on the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.

CONCLUSION: Operability assessment by a multidisciplinary team is crucial for the management of CTEPH, as pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) remains the guideline recommended treatment and has the best chance of cure. For inoperable patients or those with residual disease post-PEA, medical therapy or balloon pulmonary angioplasty are potential treatment options.
