ABSTRACT
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensión (CTPH) usually develops as a consequence of an unresolved pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Clinically it can evolucionate from different forms, being in many times similar in its presentation to the idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPH), motive by which is frequently misdiagnosed. The treatment of choice is the pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PT)... An unfrequent case of a patient with a diagnosis of CTPH submitted to non-conventional treatment with pulmonary angioplasty is reported, and later on a revision of diagnosis and treatment is presented.
