Chronic lung thromboembolism may develop after episodes of acute lung emboli. Instead of being resoluted, the thromboembolic material is incorporated into the walls of the lung arteries causing obstruction of the blood flow. Secondarily, pulmonary hypertension develops and patients experience increasing dyspnoea on exertion. In chronic pulmonary thromboembolism, drug therapy is of little benefit. Surgical thromboendarterectomy of lung arteries has emerged as an effective treatment for these very sick patients.
