Abstract

After acute or chronic pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension develops in most patients. Pulmonary thrombo Endarterectomy is the definitive treatment especially if thrombolysis is contraindicated. Here we have a patient with a chronic thrombus in the pulmonary artery that required thrombo Endarterectomy on Cardio pulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia and low flows. After removal of thrombus there was dramatic clinical improvement.
