Same‐Day Discharge Following Outpatient Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty: A Single‐Center Experience
Overnight inpatient monitoring is common following balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We describe our institutional experience in same-day discharge (SDD) after BPA. Across 78 BPA sessions, there were only 2 (2.6%) admissions for hemoptysis with no reperfusion lung injury or deaths at 30 days.
