Se presenta un caso de un varón de 65 años de edad afecto de trombosis crónica de la arteria pulmonar por perfusión, DIVAS - tras una tromboendarterectomía. Se analiza la necesidad de considerar este diagnóstico en aquellas situaciones clínicas de hipertensión pulmonar crónica o defectos de perfusión tras tromboembolismos pulmonares, pues el tratamiento de elección, la tromboendarterectomía, es plenamente satisfactorio en la mayoría de los casos.

We present a 65 years old male patient with chronic thrombosis of right pulmonary artery which resolved satisfactorily-clinical, perfusion pulmonary angiography, and DIVAS-after thromboendarterectomy. We analyze the need for considering this diagnosis in clinical situations such as chronic pulmonary hypertension or presence of perfusion defects after pulmonary thromboembolism. Thromboendarterectomy is the elective treatment and it is followed by good results in the majority of patients.
