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!.

Every once in a while case reports/series are important. In pulmonary hypertension, I think this one will end up being one. Thoughts?

Non-invasive #CPET can be used to monitor response to PAH-targeted meds in exercise-induced #PH. We see objective improvement in #O2pulse (stroke volume augmentation) and #VO2 at anaerobic threshold. Congrats @AlishaKabadi! @DrTimFernandes @ucsdpccm .
