Abstract

The Pavia group reports their experience with reoperative pulmonary endarterectomy for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. They achieved impressive results in terms of hemodynamic parameters and functional status; however, a mortality rate of 40% represents inappropriate patient selection. Recommendations are made for identifying ideal operative candidates.
