Characterization of proximal pulmonary arterial cells from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is associated with proximal pulmonary artery obstruction and vascular remodeling. We hypothesized that pulmonary arterial smooth muscle (PASMC) and endothelial cells (PAEC) may ac...
