Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is increasingly used to treat patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Although pulmonary thromboendarterectomy remains the treatment of choice for patients with CTEPH, BPA is an effective treatment option for nonoperative patients and those with residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy.1
