Article Synopsis
- Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious condition that significantly impacts prognosis, and this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various treatments available for it.
- The research reviewed 14 randomized controlled trials involving 1,047 patients, focusing on key outcomes like exercise capacity (6-minute walk distance) and pulmonary pressures.
- Findings indicated that treatments such as balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and pulmonary artery dilatation with nitroglycerin (PADN) were the most effective, improving exercise capacity and pulmonary function while reducing side effects and mortality rates.
