Abstract

Background Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a promising treatment modality for nonoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, BPA for atypical CTEPH with concurrent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains controversial owing to the risk of exacerbation of ventilation‐perfusion mismatch. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BPA for CTEPH with moderate or severe COPD. Methods and Results Data from 149 patients with CTEPH, who underwent BPA from March 2011 to June 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided based on COPD comorbidity: the COPD group (n=32, defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity <70% and forced expiratory volume in 1 second <80% predicted) and the non‐COPD group (n=101); patients with mild COPD (n=16) were excluded. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were compared between the groups. Hemodynamics improved similarly in both groups (reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance): −55.6±29.0% (COPD group) and −58.9±21.4% (non‐COPD group); P =nonsignificant. Respiratory function and oxygenation improved in the COPD group (forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity [61.8±7.0% to 66.5±10.2%, P =0.02] and arterial oxygen partial pressure [60.9±10.6 mm Hg to 69.3±13.6 mm Hg, P <0.01]). Higher vital capacity ( P =0.024) and higher diffusing capacity for lung carbon monoxide ( P =0.028) at baseline were associated with greater improvement in oxygenation in the multivariable linear analysis. Lung injury per BPA session was 1.6% in the COPD group. Conclusions The efficacy and safety of BPA for nonoperable CTEPH in patients with comorbid COPD were similar to those in patients without COPD. Oxygenation and forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity improved in patients with COPD. BPA should be considered in patients with CTEPH with concurrent COPD.
