How Percutaneous Pulmonary Angioplasty (BPA) is performed
This treatment is aimed at branch/distal stenosis or occlusion of chronic thromboembolic lesions. Usually, a catheter is inserted into the pulmonary artery under sedation or local anesthesia. After angiography and pressure assessment are completed, a suitable balloon is selected to segmentally and progressively dilate the target lesion, and multi-branch treatment is completed in stages if necessary. Postoperative monitoring of oxygenation, bleeding, and reperfusion-related reactions aims to improve perfusion and load. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
