Chronic pulmonary thromboembolism is an underdiagnosed condition with major morbidity and mortality. Over the past year and a half, we diagnosed 6 new cases of which 3 underwent successful, pulmonary thrombo-endarterectomy (2 in San Diego, 1 in Jerusalem). All recovered fully and returned to normal, active life. We conclude that pulmonary thrombo-endarterectomy is a viable option for patients with chronic pulmonary thromboembolism.
慢性肺血栓栓塞症是一种诊断不足且具有较高发病率和死亡率的疾病。在过去一年半的时间里，我们诊断出6例新病例，其中3例成功接受了肺动脉血栓内膜剥脱术（2例在圣地亚哥，1例在耶路撒冷）。所有患者均完全康复并恢复了正常的积极生活。我们得出结论，肺动脉血栓内膜剥脱术是慢性肺血栓栓塞症患者的一种可行选择。
