Article Synopsis
- Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a new treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients who can't undergo pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) or have ongoing high blood pressure after the procedure.
- A study evaluating 160 BPA procedures in 64 patients at a Czech referral center showed significant improvements in various health metrics, including heart function and exercise capacity, in a subgroup of 25 patients who completed the treatment series.
- The procedure had a low complication rate, with only one fatal event and 19 non-fatal issues, primarily hemoptysis, while the overall survival rate at 12 months was high at 94.6%.
