Effects of Combination Medical Therapy Followed by BPA on Right Ventricular-PA Coupling and Hemodynamics in CTEPH
Start Date

Completion Date

Summary
The main goal of this study is to determine the effects of combination medical therapy (Riociguat and Macitentan) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) on hemodynamics and right ventricular (RV) function (including advanced assessments of RV-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling from invasive hemodynamics) in participants with inoperable or post-PTE residual CTEPH.
Detailed Description
Recent presented but unpublished results from trials of BPA vs riociguat for inoperable CTEPH (NCT02634203) have demonstrated that BPA provides a more significant hemodynamic benefit than medical therapy. The investigators hypothesize that participants who are treated with upfront combination medical therapy followed by BPA will have significant improvements in their hemodynamics and RV-PA coupling that can be monitored over time.
