Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in indicated cases can be successfully cured by endartectomy of pulmonary arteries (PEA). Symptomatic nontreated CTEPH has a very poor prognosis; the five-year survival rate in patients with a medium pressure of over 50 mmHg in the main pulmonary artery is as low as 10 %. This kind of operation was previously not available in the Czech Republic. In 2004, a PEA programme was launched at the Cardiocentre of the General Teaching Hospital in Prague in co-operation with the institution of a well known specialist in this field (Prof. Mayer, Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany).
