A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a multi-center disease registry for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients across 18 centers in China. It will collect comprehensive data on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment options such as pulmonary endarterectomy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty, and long-term outcomes of CTEPH. The goal is to enhance understanding of the disease and improve management strategies for affected patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients must be diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)
2. Patients must be willing to provide informed consent
3. Patients must meet the following criteria for CTEPH:

a mean pulmonary artery pressures (mPAP) ≥20 mmHg combined with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ≥ 3 WU and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP)≤ 15 mmHg documented at right heart catheterization with radiographic evidence of organized thrombi involving the pulmonary arteries after 3 months of effective anticoagulation.
