27-year-old African man receives life-saving pulmonary endarterectomy at Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, in Chennai. The patient was diagnosed with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH), a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in lung arteries and linked to blood clots from deep veins. Early treatment typically involves anticoagulation for six months, but if blood clots turn into scar tissue, the patient's life expectancy decreases.
