What are the complications/side effects of the treatments of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)?

PTE surgery is delicate. If you have the surgery, you should expect to be in the hospital for about 10 days after surgery. The breastbone takes about two months to heal. You should be able to resume almost all activities by three months after PTE.

If you take Adempas® to treat CTEPH, you might have the following side effects:

  • Stomach issues, including nausea.
  • Dizziness.
  • Headache.
  • Swollen feet and legs.

Untreated, CTEPH gets worse and can be fatal.
