My name is, Grecia Silerio
I Have Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)
I am 32 years old, I live in the city of Durango, Mexico. I am a lawyer by profession and in the month of May I had a pulmonary thromboembolism that triggered Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH).
How can you save my life?
With open heart surgery.
UC San Diego Health is the world leader in pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) surgery to remove chronic blood clots from major blood vessels in the lungs.
These deadly blockages hinder your ability to breathe due to a rare complication called chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Our specialists are trained in this life-saving PTE surgery to clear the arteries in the lungs.
Sometimes chronic blood clots cannot be treated with medications. Without treatment, these clots block blood flow to the lungs, causing vascular damage and pulmonary hypertension. This condition can lead to heart failure and death.
That’s when PTE can help by removing clots and restoring blood flow. PTE, a complex surgery also known as pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), was developed at UC San Diego Health.
