Surgery for Acute and Chronic Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a condition in which a blood clot blocks blood flow in the vessels of the lungs.

This serious condition can lead to severe disruption of heart and lung function.

In its chronic form, the disease develops into chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which significantly worsens the patient's condition.

Surgical treatment is aimed at removing blood clots from the pulmonary arteries and restoring normal blood flow.

Such operations can significantly improve heart and lung function, as well as increase the patient's quality and length of life.
