18-80 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty (BPA) on quality of life and exercise capacity in patients with chronic tromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD)...

Detailed Description

BALLOON-TRIAL is a mono-center, prospective, open-label, randomized clinical trial with PROBE design. By adopting a cross-over part, all patients are eventually offered Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty (...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • acute pulmonary embolism at least 3 months prior to inclusion and adequately treated
  • persistent functional limitations: (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥2)
  • persistent radiological perfusion defects: ≥ 3 segmental perfusion defects
  • CPET result with:
  • at least 2 of the following criteria:
  • peak VO2 \< 80%;
  • peak O2 pulse \< 80% of predicted;
  • V'E/V'CO2 @ nadir \> 34;
  • Vd/Vt increasing until peak exercise or peak Vd/Vt \> 0;4;
  • gradual drop of SpO2 of ≥ 3%;
  • these exercise findings cannot be explained otherwise 2. patients completed a pulmonary rehabilitation program of at least 8 weeks no longer than 2 months before randomization.
  • 3\. exercise tests were performed after the pulmonary rehabilitation program 4. age 18-80 years 5. Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score \< 5 (CFS is a 9-point scale that summarizes the overall level of fitness or frailty of an older adult) 6. written informed consent 7. prior treatment or restart therapeutic dose of anticoagulation treatment before randomization

Exclusion

  • history of balloon pulmonalis angiography (BPA) or pulmonary endarterectomy
  • residual thrombi that are not eligible for BPA

  • inability to undergo exercise tests
  • contrast allergy
