Summary

This trial will measure the improvement in lung function in patients with CTEPH before and after a balloon pulmonary angioplasty to open narrowed pulmonary arteries.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension who are candidates for a procedure called balloon pulmonary angioplasty. People taking certain blood pressure medications or those with a heart condition known as patent foramen ovale cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study aims to measure the recovery of functional capillary surface area in the lungs of patients undergoing balloon pulmonary angioplasty, which is a treatment to widen narrowed arteries caused by chronic blood clots.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on measuring lung function rather than testing a new drug or medical intervention, there are no direct side effects from the measurement process itself.
