CTEPH, or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, is a rare type of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The most common symptoms of CTEPH are similar to those of PH, including shortness of breath with exercise, fatigue, or weakness. While it can be life-threatening, itâs the only type of PH that can be cured in some people with a type of surgery called PTE, or pulmonary thromboendarterectomy. It can be overwhelming to find out you have CTEPH, and you probably have a lot of questions.
The primary physical manifestations of CTE include a reduction in brain weight, associated with atrophy of the frontal and temporal cortices and medial temporal lobe. The lateral ventricles and the third ventricle are often enlarged, with rare instances of dilation of the fourth ventricle.
