Episode description

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and potentially fatal form of elevated blood pressure in the lungs. CTEPH treatment overall is a very complex clinical assessment and medical decision. Treatment options may include pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) surgery, balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA), or medical therapy.

In this interview, Drs. Shashank Sinha and Anjali Vaidya discuss how to approach the treatment decision for CTEPH once a diagnosis has been made.
