Observational study on residual disease in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension following pulmonary endarterectomy

Trial purpose

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a form of pulmonary hypertension caused by obstruction of the pulmonary vasculature by thromboembolic material and is potentially curable by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) surgery. However, in some cases patients may experience recurrent or persistent (residual) disease following PEA.

The proposed study will describe the rates of symptoms and diagnostic procedural claims related to residual disease in CTEPH patients over a two year period following PEA.

The results may help to identify potential gaps in care and to raise awareness of the need to follow-up and screen at risk post-PEA patients for residual disease.
