Session Summary: The success of Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy (PTE) has improved over the years due to better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to major complications. This knowledge has translated into better ability to prevent them, recognize them early on and manage them more appropriately. This symposium will review specific complications related to PTE and discuss how to manage them to achieve a successful outcome.

Chairs: Elie Fadel, MD and John Cannon, MD

Primary Audience: CTEPH
Secondary Audience: PH

Session Summary: Interventional options for the treatment of CTEPH are expanding with BPA recently emerging as an option, in addition to PTE surgery. Yet, how can we compare the two therapies when there are differences in patient populations, procedures performed, and variability in reporting of risks and outcomes? This symposium will address these issues and facilitate discussion on how we can move toward more uniform reporting of outcomes.

Chairs: Isabelle Opitz, MD and Gustavo A. Heresi, MD
