Summary
This study looks at how a surgery called pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) affects the self-confidence of people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Ten patients will fill out questionnaires about their confidence in managing their illness and communicating with doctors. Researchers will also measure how far they can walk in six minutes. The goal is to understand the psychological side of recovery and improve support programs.
