Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a pathology in which obstruction of the branches of the pulmonary arteries occurs as a result of recurrent thromboembolism and secondary vasculopathy in small vessels. Without treatment, this disease can lead to insufficiency of the right ventricle and, as a result, to premature death. Surgical pulmonary artery thrombendarterectomy is the main method of choice for lesions of the main and lobar branches of the pulmonary artery. With distal lesions in the branches of the pulmonary artery, transluminal balloon angioplasty of segmental and subsegmental thromboembolic lesions of the branches of the pulmonary artery is possible. The diagnosis of chronic pulmonary embolism is extremely rare, and this is due to the difficulty of diagnosing this disease, as well as the lack of awareness among doctors about this pathology and the possibilities of its modern treatment. The presented clinical example demonstrates.
