Abstract

Chronic thromboembolic disease can lead to significant exercise limitations even in the absence of pulmonary hypertension. The decision to proceed with pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is complex, but as in this case, can lead to significant improvements in lung perfusion and exercise tolerance. Though speculative, intervention at this stage of the disease may also prevent the development of significant pulmonary hypertension.
