Abstract: Abstract Recently, balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) has become an established procedure with stable results. The number of elderly CTEPH/CTEPD patients has also increased… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) or pulmonary disease (CTEPD) is performed worldwide. High mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) during BPA is associated with aggravation of procedure‐related complications. Inhaled nitric… read more here.
