Interventional Techniques for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
What does it actually take to open a chronically occluded pulmonary artery without pushing the patient into reperfusion pulmonary edema? On this episode of BackTable Cardiology, Dr. Hady Lichaa interviews Dr. Riyaz Bashir, interventional cardiologist and vascular medicine specialist at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, about the real-world, table-side technique of balloon pulmonary angioplasty for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). They walk through vascular access, telescoping sheath setup, right heart catheterization, pressure wire guidance, balloon sizing, and step-by-step planning for each lobe and lesion.
