Thank you for your message.

I am sorry for that I do not have enough idea about the healthcare system of India. I would like to suggest you that most people with PTE receive treatment at pulmonary hypertension center hospital in most countries. It is because the medical science of PTE differs a little bit from other fields of cardiology or resipirology. Therefore, I recommend you to search domestic pulmonary hypertension center in your country. To my knowledge, following hospitals are known as pulmonary hypertension center in your country.

SAL Hospital & Medical Institute, Ahmedabad, India
Narayana Hrudayalaya Inst. Of Cardiac Sciences, Bangalore, India
K. S. Hospital, Chennai, India
Sri Ramachandra Medical College, Chennai, India
Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, India
Medwin Heart Institute, Hyderabad, India
Yashoda Super Specialty Hospital, Hyderabad, India
Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Kolkata, India
KMC Hospital, Mangalore, India
Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, India
KEM Hospital, Mumbai, India
G. B. Pant Hospital & Maulana Azad Med. College, New Delhi, India
Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, India
Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Secunderabad, India

Moreover, I understand that Bayer (a pharma company) currently run a world-wide clinical trial of reociguat for patients with PTE. I feel this study drug can help many patients with CTEPH. If you are interested, please contact a Bayer branch of your country, Probably, the company welcomes new patients.

Please do not hesistate to contact with me.

I hope that the situation of your mother gets better.

Best regards,

Hi,

I am sorry for your mother's situation.
In case of failed endarterectomy, you have several drugs to treat pulmonary circulation.
Sildenafil, bosenan, ambrisentan, tadalafil, and other oral drug may help your mother. In these days, pharma companies frequently run clinical trials of new drugs for pulmonary angiodilators. Please ask the attending doctor.

Thank you.
