Aims: To evaluate safety and efficacy of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in a large cohort of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Methods: From 2014 to 2017, 184 inoperable CTEPH patients underwent 1006 BPA sessions. Safety and efficacy during the first 21 months (initial period) were compared with those of the last 21 months (recent period). A total of 154 patients had a full evaluation after a median duration of 6.1 months. Results: Overall, there was a significant improvement in New York Heart Association functional class, 6-min walk distance (mean change + 45 m), and a significant decrease in mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) by 26% and 43%, respectively. The percentage decreases of mean PAP and PVR were 22% and 37% in the initial period versus 30% and 49% in the recent period, respectively (p
