Symptoms, laboratory investigation results, World Health Organization (WHO) functional class, 6-min walk distance (6 MWD), hemodynamic parameters, and prognosis were analyzed at baseline and follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean (\u00b1 SD) age of the 32 patients (28 female, 4 male) was 42.8 \u00b1 11.9 years, and the median follow-up was 49.5 months (interquartile range, 26\u201371 months). Compared with baseline, changes in total bilirubin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, 6 MWD, and WHO score functional class demonstrated significant differences (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;0.001). Echocardiography findings, right and left ventricular diameter, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, and estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure were all improved (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.016, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;0.001, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;0.001, <jats:italic>and P<\/jats:italic>=0.005, respectively).

Pulmonary angiography revealed post-procedure restenosis in 64 (35.0%) lesions underwent PTPA within three to six months. Among three patients who underwent stent implantation, one experienced restenosis.
