Popis: Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) seen at a US medical center. Patients and Methods: Patients with inoperable or residual postendarterectomy CTEPH who underwent BPA at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, between August 11, 2014, and May 17, 2018, were included. Invasive hemodynamic, clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results: We identified 31 patients (26 with inoperable CTEPH and 5 with residual postendarterectomy CTEPH) who underwent 75 BPA procedures performed in a staged manner to reduce complications. The median number of sessions was 2 (interquartile range [IQR], 1-3) per patient, and the number of vessels treated per session was 3 (IQR, 2-3). Of the 31 patients, 24 (77.4%) were taking pulmonary vasodilators and 22 (71.0%) were taking riociguat. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from 40 mm Hg (IQR, 29-48 mm Hg) to 29 mm Hg (IQR, 25-37 mm Hg; P
