Abstract

A case of a patient with surgically treated progressive thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in the course of recurrent pulmonary embolism resulting from deep vein thrombosis is presented. Acute embolic episode seems to have crucial role as an initiating factor triggering the cascade of unfavorable changes in pulmonary vasculature. The paper stresses the role of systematic clinical and echocardiographic control of patients after pulmonary embolism in order to diagnose developing complications as soon as possible. It would allow to introduce efficient treatment and improve prognosis.
