Why Pulmonary Embolism Surgery Is Needed
Surgical pulmonary embolectomy is performed for a massive pulmonary embolism, a large blood clot blocking the pulmonary arteries that severely strains the heart and lungs, when the patient is too unstable for or has not responded to clot-dissolving medication. It is generally reserved for life-threatening cases where the clot burden is too large or risky to treat any other way.
