The Role of Medical Therapy Before and After Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty: CTEPH AC Registry Across Japan. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We aimed to evaluate the role of medical therapy before and after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for non‐operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in the modern management era. This Japanese nationwide, multicenter, prospective observational registry, including 37 centers, analyzed data newly registered from August ...

Long-Term Supervised Cardiac Rehabilitation After Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Improved Residual Exercise Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Two-Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Abnormal pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise may persist even after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We report two female patients who underwent long‐term supervised outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after BPA with continuous pulmonary vasodilators.

Pulmonary artery blood flow dynamics in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is caused by incomplete resolution and organization of thrombi. Blood flow dynamics are involved in thrombus formation; however, only a few studies have reported on pulmonary artery blood flow dynamics in ...
