Pulmonary endarterectomy has been successfully implemented in Denmark. The perioperative mortality was reduced over time to 9% during the past 5 years. Functional outcome and long-term survival were excellent stressing the importance of surgical treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is feasible as a rescue therapy in normothermic refractory OHCA in highly selected patients. Low-flow time was longer than previously reported. Survival with favourable neurological outcome is possible despite prolonged low-flow duration.
