Abstract
Injury to the pulmonary artery during thromboendarterectomy is a rare but potentially fatal complication with no reported surgical techniques to combat it. Treatment is only supportive and morbidity is high. We report the intraoperative diagnosis and surgical management of pulmonary hemorrhage in 3 patients after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
