      abstract = {The only curative treatment currently available for  chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is  surgical pulmonary endoarterectomy (PEA). However, several  patients may have high risk factors for surgery, or a  peripheral disease not amenable to surgical treatment; or  else a residual pulmonary hypertension after PEA. Balloon  pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) was recently developed to offer  an alternative treatment for these patients. Extensive data  has since confirmed the efficacy and relative safety of  this procedure. However, there are several technical issues  that have yet to be resolved. In addition, many  cardiologists and pneumologists still know very little  about the procedure itself and its potential. Exploring the  clinical indications and technical aspects of BPA, this  book offers a valuable reference guide for all those who  would like to introduce or improve a BPA program, and for  all those whose work involves treating this complex patient  population.},
