Successful Pulmonary Endarterectomy in a Patient with Klinefelter Syndrome

الملخص EN

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a frequent genetic disorder due to one or more supernumerary X chromosomes.

KS is associated with an increased risk for venous thromboembolic events like deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

This paper describes a 37-year-old male patient with KS referred to our tertiary center with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and who was successfully treated by pulmonary endarterectomy.
