6-Minute Walk Test
My stay at Okayama Medical Center is coming to an end after four BPA treatments. We are still running several tests this week to collect post-treatment data, including today’s 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
Why Japan?
Why did I choose Japan for my balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) treatment? Given the current lack of CTEPH expertise in Thailand, Japan turned out to be the ideal choice for various critical reasons.
A Rare Glimpse Into The Catheter Room
A rare glimpse into the “lung repair” or “tuneup shop,” as I like to call it. It’s actually the catheter room at Okayama Medical Center where the magic truly happens. These pictures were taken during my second BPA procedure.
My 2nd BPA Procedure
My 2nd BPA procedure is behind me. It went without complications and I really enjoyed it. My team of doctors is fabulous and fun to work with.
