Popis: Abstract The standard treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA); however, it may be unsuitable in the presence of comorbidities such as cardiac shock and severe hypoxia. We describe a successful case of emergent balloon pulmonary angioplasty performed before PEA in a patient with deteriorating central‐type CTEPH.
