Abstract
In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest in diseases of pulmonary circulation. It is due to the development of specific drug therapy for pulmonary hypertension (PH), improving the availability and performance of endarterectomy techniques of pulmonary artery.
This technique has been established as method of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, the crucial issue is early indication of treatment, right diagnosis and determination of exact type of pulmonary hypertension.
Modern therapeutic approaches provide better prognosis, quality of life and even possibility to cure the patients, especially suffering from CTEPH. This article discusses the issue of CTEPH.
