Interventions:Four BPA sessions for 8 branches of the bilateral pulmonary arteries were done, until the mean PAP (mPAP) went under 30 mm Hg. For the TKA, we selected spinal anesthesia in order to minimize intraoperative hemodynamic changes. Cardiac surgeons were standby in case extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) initiation was required.Outcomes:With appropriate pain management and use of intravenous vasopressors, intraoperative vital signs were stable. No symptoms of hemodynamic collapse were observed postoperatively. The patient was discharged on the 46th postoperative day following rehabilitation. Two years later, left-side unicompartment knee arthroplasty (UKA) was scheduled. Right heart catheterization study revealed the mPAP was 30 mm Hg, nearly the same value as the last study. The operation was performed under spinal anesthesia with continuous arterial pressure monitoring without need for intraoperative vasopressor. He was discharged without complications on the 24th postoperative day.Lessons:BPA can be an effective preoperative intervention for CTEPH patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.1 IntroductionChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare type of pulmonary hypertension characterized by chronic thromboembolic obstruction of pulmonary arterial branches, and is categorized into group 4 pulmonary hypertension (PH) by the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of PH.[1, 2] CTEPH has a poor prognosis because it is associated with elevated pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and consequent progressive right-sided heart failure; the 1-year and 3-year survival rates have been reported as 82% and 70%, respectively.[3] Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the only established treatment for advanced CTEPH,[4] but it must be performed under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and is only available at a limited number of institutions. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a newly emergent treatment for CTEPH that is performed percutaneously and less invasively. BPA improves the pulmonary hemodynamic state as successfully as PEA, and has a much greater effect on mortality and quality of life than medication therapy alone.[5, 6] No previous reports have demonstrated the efficacy of BPA as a preoperative intervention for pulmonary hypertensive patients.
