N2 - Objective: To see whether degree of pulmonary hypertension or severity of cardiac failure affect the success of pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Methods: From May 1996 to June 1999, 33 patients, all in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3 or 4 were treated with PTE. Preoperative hemodynamic values were: central venous pressure (CVP) 8 ± 6 (1-23), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) 50 ± 10 (30-69), cardiac output (CO) 3.3 ± 0.9 (1.8-5.2), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) 1056 ± 344 (523-1659), and right ventricle ejection fraction (RVEF) 12 ± 5 (5-21). To establish whether some hemodynamic or cardiac variables correlate with surgical failure (early death or functional non-success), these patients were divided into a low risk or a high risk group for each variable: CVP (
