Main Results:

  • Pulmonary endarterectomy is the sole curative treatment for a subset of CTEPH patients.
  • Perioperative care for these patients is complex and demanding.
  • Successful outcomes are contingent upon integrated team expertise.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of CTEPH patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy relies on a skilled multidisciplinary team.
  • This collaborative approach significantly enhances patient quality of life and survival.
  • Addressing perioperative challenges is key to optimizing outcomes in CTEPH surgery.
