New MRI study reveals how balloon procedure helps lungs and heart
NCT ID NCT07299227
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) changes heart and lung function in people with chronic blood clots in the lungs (CTEPH). Researchers will use advanced MRI scans before and after the procedure to measure blood flow and heart performance. The goal is to better understand how BPA improves the body's response to this condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- balloon pulmonary angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked lung arteries)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show exactly how balloon angioplasty improves heart and lung function in people with chronic blood clots in the lungs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study (60 people) that measures changes using MRI, not a large trial testing a new treatment. It may not prove long-term benefits or apply to everyone.
