This research study is designed to understand how the heart's pressure patterns change during treatment for chronic blood clots in the lung arteries. Researchers will track wave-based pressure measurements alongside traditional heart tests to see whether these newer measurements can better predict who will recover well after the procedure. The study involves about 70 patients being treated at a hospital in Istanbul.
People respond very differently to this lung clot procedure, and doctors cannot always predict who will do best using standard measurements alone. This trial explores whether tracking the heart's pressure wave patterns—which reflect how the heart pumps against resistance—might give earlier or clearer signs of recovery, helping doctors personalize treatment decisions.

You will participate as part of your regular clinical care during balloon angioplasty treatment. Researchers will collect pressure readings from your heart during standard catheterization procedures, along with echocardiogram images, blood tests, walking distance tests, and quality-of-life questionnaires at planned visits. No additional invasive procedures beyond standard care are required; the study simply observes and measures what is already happening during your treatment.
