Background: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has shown beneficial effects for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, previous studies have shown less cardiac output improvement and symptoms remaining after BPA, implying poor right ventricular (RV) function recovery. Therefore, we investigated the residual RV dysfunction after BPA to reveal risk factors, clinical effects, and possible underlying histopathological mechanisms.Methods and results: We investigated 61 consecutive CTEPH patients who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance before and 3 and 12 months after BPA series. Residual dysfunction (RD) of RV was defined as RV end-diastolic volume index >100 ml/m(2) or RV ejection fraction (EF)
