Abstract:

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is classifed as Group-4 pulmonary hypertension caused by organized thrombi in pulmonary arteries. Pulmonary endarterectomy is the preferred treatment for CTEPH. The soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator (riociguat) is the sole FDA-licensed drug for the treatment of CTEPH. With the development of interventional therapy, balloon pulmonary angioplasty has gradually become new therapy for patients with inoperable CTEPH or residual or recurrent pulmonary hypertension following PEA. This article reviews the development process, indications, treatment procedures and complications of BPA to provide a better understanding and evaluation of BPA as a treatment option in CTEPH patients.

Key words: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, Balloon pulmonary angioplasty, Pulmonary embolism
