Summary

 A seventy-year-old female had experienced exertional dyspnea since two years before. She had difficulties in breathing at rest and, on admission blood gas analysis revealed severe hypoxemia. Imaging analyses showed that multiple thromoboemboli were present in the bilateral central pulmonary arteries. After a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension caused by chronic pulmonary thromboembolism, medical treatments including thrombolytic therapy were started, but were ineffective for her symptoms, and pulmonary hemodynamics were not improved. She underwent a pulmonary thromboendarterectomy with intermittent circulatory arrest under hypothermia. Postoperatively, hemodynamic status and blood gas analysis showed marked improvement. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is a promising and potentially curative surgical procedure, but it has been only rarely performed in Japan, due to its technical difficulty. Recent advances in its surgical techniques and instruments can facilitate marked improvements in cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and prognosis, suggesting that the appropriate detemination of its surgical indication and preoperative evaluation will lead to further improvement in the prognosis of chronic pulmonary thromboembolism.
