We report the cases of two patients with life-threatening acute pulmonary embolism (PE) on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who were treated with rescue balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). These cases highlight the effect of rescue BPA on acute PE on CTEPH, which requires veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
