PULMONARY THROMBOENDARTERECTOMY for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.
This is a very rewarding life saving operation. It is little understood and considered "Difficult" and "unforgiving" due to complexity of dissection in a fragile blood vessel that is a pulmonary Artery .
Thanks to the inspiration and teaching Of my Guru Professor Stewert Jamieson, the world leader in this complex surgery, I have been able to get consistent results in this surgery. Recently operated on my 15th patient in Apollo Hospital Ahmedabad..
see the specimen from this last case, a patient with Klippel Trenauney Syndrome with CTEPH note the totally occluded Left pulmonary artery specimen in "Picture says it all" section.
Please refer to Articles where my first operation of this condition is explained.
