INTRODUCTION: Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) results from progressive thrombotic occlusion of the pulmonary arteries. It is treated by surgical removal occlusion, with success rates depending on degree microvascular remodelling. Surgical eligibility influenced contributions both thrombus and microvasculature remodelling to overall vascular resistance. Assessing this challenging due high inter-individual variability in arterial morphology physiology. We investigated...
