About this trial

The goal of this patient registry is to learn about the natural history in patients with chronic thromboembolic disease (CTD) and/or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Long-term outcome after various types of treatment, including medication, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, and pulmonary endarterectomy * Effect of treatment on patient's quality of life and exercise tolerance Participants will be followed longitudinally to assess their health outcomes and quality of life via chart review and health quality surveys.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) > 20 mmHg at rest with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) > 2 Wood units (WU); or if mPAP ≤ 20 mmHg or PVR ≤ 2 WU at rest, have exercise limitations from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) without pulmonary hypertension (PH)

Radiologic finding of chronic thromboembolic disease, including abnormal ventilation perfusion scan, pulmonary angiogram, computer tomographic pulmonary angiogram, or magnetic resonance pulmonary angiogram

Post-embolic exercise intolerance and evidence of chronic thromboembolic disease in the absence of resting pulmonary hypertension

Treatment with anticoagulation for ≥ 3 months before diagnosis of CTEPH or CTEPD without PH

Disqualifiers

Main cause of PH other than World Health Organization (WHO) group 4 (CTEPH)

Patient's refusal to participate in clinical research and/or receive intervention

Trial population

Patients with diagnosed chronic thromboembolic disease (CTED) or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Total number of patients who survive

The total number of patients who are alive

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 5 years
2

Changes in exercise tolerance

Measured by 6-min walk test, which will be done approximately every 3 months at follow up per standard of care

Time frame
Baseline to end of the study, an average of 5 years
3

Changes in supplemental oxygen use severity

Number of patients on supplemental oxygen, which will be recorded approximately every 3 months at follow up per standard of care. This will be compiled at the end of the study to provide overall change in measurement.

Time frame
Baseline to end of the study, an average of 5 years
4

Changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class

Grading of patients by NYHA functional class, which include functional capacity and objective assessment. This will be compiled at the end of the study to provide overall change in measurement.

Time frame
Baseline to end of the study, an average of 5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes in CTEPH-/CTED- specific medication

The frequency and dose of medication specifically for management of CTEPH or CTED, which will be assessed approximately every 3 months as routine medical follow up. This will be compiled at the end of the study to assess overall change.

Time frame
Baseline to end of the study, an average of 5 years
2

History of undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy

Number of patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 5 years
3

History of undergoing pulmonary balloon angioplasty

Number of patients undergoing pulmonary balloon angioplasty

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 5 years
