| Core Tip |
The total lung volume, right lower lobe volume, and cardiac cross-sectional area were reduced after at least 6 mo of follow-up after treatment in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This finding suggests that structural lung changes have occurred in CTEPH, possibly from continued infarction with secondary volume loss from fibrosis or bronchoconstriction. The loss of lung volume may prove to be an important clinical consideration in CTEPH treatment because pulmonary function may continue to deteriorate despite improved right heart function in patients with CTEPH. |
