Pulmonary Thromboendartectomy

 

Quick Links

 

Pulmonary thromboendartectomy is the surgical procedure to remove life-threatening blood clots – emboli – from pulmonary arteries to restore blood flow to the lungs.

The surgery can provide a cure for pulmonary hypertension due to chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease by restoring normal blood pressure in the pulmonary artery and improving right-heart failure.
