Özet

Background: This study aims to reduce the uncertainity related to the prognosis after surgery of the acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTPHT) patients, and to encourage physicians to consider surgical treatment options based on the evidence-based data which suggests that surgery offers the best chance for improvement in these patients.
