The embolus localization during index pulmonary embolism might be of potential relevance for CTEPH development.
In the present study patients with confirmed pulmonary embolism for at least 12 months will be screened for CTEPH. The incidence of CTEPH will be correlated to thrombus location (central vs. peripheral) and the index use of fibrinolysis.
