Abstract
Improving the methods of diagnosis, therapy and surgical treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) provides a complete cure in most cases. Data on the survival of CTELH patients is contradictory, and primarily due to the treatment availability. In Russian Federation there are few experienced centers performing thromboendarterectomy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty. Until recently, specific drug therapy was not available for most patients because of its high cost. The presented clinical case demonstrates modern opportunities of treatment of inoperable patients with residual CTEPH by the method of pulmonary artery denervation using a radiofrequency ablation.
