I'm happy to share our recent publication on the safety and efficacy of PTE surgery for patients with chronic thromboembolic disease but no pulmonary hypertension at rest. Less complications than CTEPH, no deaths and immediate improvement in PA compliance!

Thanks to @StopTheClot for the invitation to discuss post-VTE complications in honor of #CTEPH Awareness Day!
🌟Nov. 13 is CTEPH Awareness Day 🌟Last night we hosted a PEP Talk on CTEPH & other post-VTE complications with @DrTimFernandes of @UCSDHealth. CTEPH is under-diagnosed & doctors need to listen to patients who have these symptoms. Full PEP Talk recording: stoptheclot.org/pep-media
