Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting hemodynamic response to balloon pulmonary angioplasty in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) can effectively alleviate pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Identifying predictors of unfavorable hemodynamic response to BPA is essential to guide clinical practice. Therefore, our objective was to construct and validate a nomogram to facilitate clinicians predicting hemodynamic response to BPA.
