Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a part of the spectrum of venous thromboembolism in which pulmonary thrombus fails to resolve, resulting in occlusion of the major pulmonary artery. Diagnosis of this disease is important as it is potentially curable by pulmonary thromboendarterectomy. A case of CTEPH diagnosed non-invasively on spiral computerized (CT) pulmonary angiography is reported.
慢性血栓栓塞性肺动脉高压（CTEPH）是静脉血栓栓塞症的一种，其中肺血栓无法溶解，导致主要肺动脉闭塞。该病的诊断很重要，因为通过肺动脉血栓内膜剥脱术有可能治愈。本文报告了一例通过螺旋计算机断层扫描（CT）肺血管造影术无创诊断的CTEPH病例。
