I'm happy to share our recent publication on the safety and efficacy of PTE surgery for patients with chronic thromboembolic disease but no pulmonary hypertension at rest. Less complications than CTEPH, no deaths and immediate improvement in PA compliance!

Wishing a joyful retirement to the truly remarkable Dr. Kim Kerr, Vice Chief of @ucsdpccm. Your decades of dedication have had a profound impact on our patients, students, and the field of pulmonology. Thank you for everything! Your legacy at UCSD Health will certainly live on.
