How Pulmonary Endarterectomy (PEA) is performed
This procedure is for chronic thromboembolic occlusive lesions and requires general anesthesia, often with cardiopulmonary bypass. It typically involves precise dissection along the pulmonary artery intima, gradually stripping the organized thrombus and fibrous intima, and assessing the reconstructed blood flow with intraoperative imaging and pressure monitoring. Early postoperative monitoring focuses on oxygenation, right heart load, and bleeding, with the goal of improving pulmonary circulation and promoting recovery. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
