To evaluate the feasibility and clinical outcome of surgical thrombo-embolectomy in a patient presenting with chronic, long-standing thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension.
Conducted pre- and post-operative physiological evaluations in a patient with chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension.
Performed surgical thrombo-embolectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass to excise a massive, localized thrombus from the left pulmonary artery.
Surgical excision of the chronic pulmonary arterial clot achieved dramatic clinical improvement in the patient.
Pre- and post-operative physiological studies confirmed effective relief of pulmonary vascular obstruction.
