Optimal Endpoint for Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Based on Distal Pulmonary Artery Pressure Waveforms
Background: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an established therapy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but its optimal lesion-specific endpoint remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the optimal endpoint for pressure-guided BPA (PG-BPA) based on the distal pulmonary artery pressure waveform (Pd-WF).
