Pulmonary tumour thrombotic microangiopathy or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension?—diagnosed by pulmonary wedge aspiration cytology using a Swan–Ganz catheter: a case report
Pulmonary tumour thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare but fatal cause of PH and is rarely diagnosed antemortem. Pulmonary wedge aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive and valuable tool that helps differentiate PTTM from CTEPH and plays a crucial role in guiding both diagnosis and management.
