Right ventricular remodelling and long-term survival after pulmonary endarterectomy versus balloon pulmonary angioplasty in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Both PEA and BPA led to significant RV reverse remodelling, with no clear evidence of a difference in survival rates. Improvement in RV function, particularly RV FAC, was associated with better outcomes, highlighting the importance of RV recovery in CTEPH treatment.
