title: Advances in acute pulmonary embolism and chronic pulmonary hypertension.
abstract: Detection and management of CTEPH presents a series of special diagnostic and management challenges. However, steady advances in diagnostic techniques and in medical-surgical treatment now offer substantial hope to many patients for whom, previously, there was little or no hope. Ongoing investigations offer much promise for future therapeutic advance.
