“Balloon pulmonary angioplasty for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: is Europe behind?” Irene M. Lang and Hiromi Matsubara. Eur Respir J 2019; 53: 1900843.
The above-mentioned editorial has been corrected and republished online; the amendments have been discussed in the correspondence articles published in this issue of the European Respiratory Journal [1, 2]. The sentence that originally read:
“While there are currently 1.7 surgical pulmonary endarterectomies per million of population performed in Europe annually, compared with 0.9 per million in the USA, only approximately 60 pulmonary endarterectomies are performed annually in Japan, accounting for one procedure per billion population.”
has been corrected to:
“While there are currently 1.7 surgical pulmonary endarterectomies per million of population performed in Europe annually, compared with 0.9 per million in the USA, only approximately 60 pulmonary endarterectomies are performed annually in Japan, accounting for 0.47 procedures per million population.”
The table has also been amended and re-formatted for clarity. The new version is reproduced below.
