Inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Evolution of prognosis over 10 years of new emerging therapies

Pulmonary Circulation
Therapies for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) include balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and PH‐specific medical therapy. This study compares survival and its predictors before and after the introduction of BPA.
