Aim: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is one of the main reasons of severe pulmonary hypertension and has significantly higher morbidity and mortality rates. The pathogenesis of the disease is characterized by the incomplete resolution of acute embolisms. The elevated inflammatory conditions after the acute embolism are one of the critical factors. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether or not anakinra is an option for treating CTEPH in an animal model.
