JTCVS 2011 Inclusion Criteria 27 CTEPH centers (26 European, 1 Canadian, 17 PEA centers, inclusion from 2/2007 to 1/2009) only incident cases (diagnosis < 6 months prior to inclusion) diagnosis CTEPH confirmed by specific investigations and imaging no PAH-specific treatment prior to diagnosis at least 3 months of anticoagulation 6

PEA per year Wilcoxon 2-sample test Conclusions In specialized centers, the surgical management of incident, newly diagnosed CTEPH patients provides favorable results as indicated by low operative mortality and improvement of exercise capacity and hemodynamics. As low exercise capacity and high PVR are risk factors for survival, earlier diagnosis seems mandatory and referral for PEA surgery to expert centers may not be delayed. Future registry follow-up data will support critical decision-making regarding operability and treatment options for these patients. 11
