Rescue balloon pulmonary angioplasty for life-threatening acute pulmonary embolism on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients

We report the cases of two patients with life-threatening acute pulmonary embolism (PE) on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who were treated with rescue balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). These cases highlight the effect of rescue BPA on acute PE on CTEPH, which requires veno-...

Sumario:We report the cases of two patients with life-threatening acute pulmonary embolism (PE) on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who were treated with rescue balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). These cases highlight the effect of rescue BPA on acute PE on CTEPH, which requires veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
