Hypertension: Surgery remains treatment of choice for CTEPH

Anton Vonk Noordegraaf et al. Nat Rev Cardiol. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

The long-term outcomes of operated and nonoperated patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension were reported in a large, prospective, multicentre, European and Canadian registry. The long-term prognosis of operated patients was superior to that of nonoperated patients, indicating that surgery should be the first-choice treatment in this patient cohort.
