Abstract
Background: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a progressive form of pulmonary hypertension. Although pulmonary hypertension is strongly associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate, this condition's prognosis and mortality rate are still unclear in Iran. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between the histopathologic findings in endarterectomy specimens of CTEPH patients and their mortality rate.
