Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which occurs due to impartial resolution of the pulmonary thrombus, 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 is mostly reveals an underlying thrombophilic state.
