%X Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and serious complication after pulmonary embolism (PE). Its incidence in the general population is around 3–30 cases per million. The incidence of CTEPH after acute PE ranges between 0.1 and 8.8% [1–5]. In a meta-analysis including 4047 PE patients, the incidence of CTEPH was 2.8% (95% CI 1.5–4.1) in “PE survivors” without major comorbidities [6]. In studies not using objective diagnostic criteria to diagnose CTEPH, the pooled incidence was 6.3% (95% CI 4.1–8.4)
