Cardiothoracic Imaging for Outcome Prediction in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension after Pulmonary Endarterectomy or Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: There has been a rapid expansion in centers performing balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The purpose of this scoping review was to identify cardiothoracic imaging predictors of outcomes and to identify gaps to address in future work. A scoping review was conducted using the framework outlined by Arksey and O'Malley and Levac et al. in MEDLINE and EMBASE. The study protocol was preregistered in OSF Registries and performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. There were 1117 identified studies, including 48 involving pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (n = 25) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (n = 23)
