Abstract

Two successful pulmonary thromboendartectomies were performed. In the first case, it was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia and ventricular fibrillation In the second case, it was done under deep hypothermia and intermittent circulatory arrest. The patients are recovered uneventfully without complication and discharged from the hospital on warfarin. Their symptoms were improved and the follow-up pulmonary perfusion scans revealed no evidence of residual pulmonary embolus in both cases.
