Hemodynamic Effects of BPA at Rest and During Exercise in CTEPH
EXPERT-BPA

Brief Summary
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by obstruction of the pulmonary vasculature by residual organized thrombi, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), progressive pulmonary hypertension, and right heart failure. Medical therapy and balloon angioplasty (BPA) are effective treatment alternatives in lowering pulmonary pressures and increasing pulmonary flow. The aim of this study is to assess the hemodynamic effects of BPA or medical therapy on the pressure-flow relationship in the pulmonary vasculature and the pulmonary vascular compliance.
