A 71-year-old male with a history of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension scheduled for an elective pulmonary thrombectomy was removed from the surgical list in 2019 for unknown reasons. Four years later, a different surgeon elected to perform the surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass support. Following surgery, the patient was placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and ultimately died. This case report highlights the surgical and perfusion techniques, as well as the rare events that occurred during his care.
Key words: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) / Pulmonary thrombectomy (PTE) / Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
