| Core Tip |
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious chronic disease with a poor prognosis if left untreated. Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the only curable treatment of choice for certain CTEPH patients with proximal vessel lesions. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a promising alternative interventional option for patients with CTEPH, especially those with distal lesions or residual/recurrent pulmonary hypertension after PEA. Herein, we summarize the pathophysiology of CTEPH, the history and development of BPA, therapeutic principles, indications and contraindications, interventional procedures, imaging modalities, efficacy and prognosis, complications and management, bridging and hybrid therapies, ongoing clinical trials and future prospects. |
