Following a pulmonary embolism, Janel was suffering from shortness of breath and passed out (fainted) on multiple occasions. She was diagnosed with right-sided heart failure and CTEPH (chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension). Janel was referred to the experts at Temple Health where she received a life-saving surgical treatment called pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE). Drs. Paul Forfia, Anjali Vaidya and William Auger discuss CTEPH, PTE, and why patients benefit from being seen by experts who are dedicated to and highly experienced with this condition.
Temple recently achieved a clinical milestone by performing its 200th PTE surgery – a complex procedure offered at only a handful of hospitals in the U.S.
