Abstract

Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by the occurrence of venous and/or arterial thrombosis. Chronic thromboembolism is one of the known established pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension, known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary endarterectomy is the treatment of choice for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and risk of pulmonary endarterectomy in patients with anti-phospholipid syndrome-associated chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
