Abstract:
Massive endobronchial hemorrhage after a successful pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is a rare but catastrophic complication. We experienced this complication in a patient with chronic pulmonary embolism, but it was managed successfully using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and differential ventilation.
