Biography

Pulmonary embolism is a potentially correctable cause of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The right ventricle is susceptible to failure with acute elevations in afterload. Without intervention, the rate of survival is low and proportional to the degree of PH. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is considered in symptomatic patients who have hemodynamic or ventilatory impairment at rest or with exercise.
