Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which occurs due to impartial resolution of the pulmonary thrombus in different types of diseases, is a rare type of pulmonary hypertension. However, most patients have an excellent long-term survival following pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE). Pulmonary emboli and associated CTEPH is unusual in the pediatric population and are mostly reveals occur when the blood coagulation system is disturbed or in a number of iatrogenic situations. In the world practice
PTE is recognized as the best method of treatment in this group of patients. In this paper we describe four cases of successful surgical and endovascular treatment of children with pulmonary embolism in combination with CTEPH.
