New Combined Treatment Improves Heart Function in CTEPH Cases
A new sequential strategy has been found to successfully treat people with severe chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), significantly reducing high blood pressure and improving heart function.
The three-step regimen consists of medication, followed by balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA), and then pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) surgery. This approach is designed for individuals facing high surgical risk and complex blood clot locations.
According to the study, following this regimen leads to significant reductions in blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries and a marker of heart failure, as well as improved functionality and a 95% survival rate.
The strategy begins with medications, followed by balloon pulmonary angioplasty, and pulmonary endarterectomy surgery.
