Abstract
Chronic postembolic pulmonary embolism (CTEPH) is the result of chronic pulmonary artery obstruction followed by pulmonary embolism. The frequency of CTEPH in patients with pulmonary embolism is approximately 3.8 %. Despite signifcant progress of pulmonary embolism management, the diagnosis of CTEPH remains diffcult. The current review is devoted to the opportunities of radionuclide methods in patients with CTEPH. The information about ventilationperfusion scintigraphy, equilibrium radionuclide angiography, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy as well as cardiac scintigraphy with 123IMIBG is presented.
