Brief Summary:
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and potentially life-threatening progressive disease that evolves from unresolved pulmonary embolism. Gold standard treatment for CTEPH is pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) performed by skilled cardio-thoracic surgeons.
Some patients may not be surgical candidates due to co-morbidities or because the vascular lesions are too distal making them technically inoperable. In these patients, balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has emerged as an effective treatment. In a subgroup of patients, the distribution of vascular lesions makes it possible to perform either BPA or PEA. There has never been a head-to head comparison of BPA with PEA. The aim of this study is therefore, to evaluate if BPA is non-inferior to PEA in patients with (CTEPH) who are eligible for both treatments.

Detailed Description:
An investigator-initiated multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open label, non-inferiority trial. The study will randomize (1:1) 152 patients with CTEPH who are eligible for both PEA and BPA. Patients will be screened for study inclusion at the local CTEPH multidisciplinary team conference and eligibility for both PEA and BPA will be confirmed by a central adjudication committee.
PEA or BPA will be completed within 6 months from randomization. Follow-up visit with right heart catheterization will be completed at 4 months and 12 months after PEA or last BPA session.
Primary end-point is change in pulmonary vascular resistance from baseline to 4 months and 12 months after PEA or the last BPA session.
