Advanced Treatment for Pulmonary Hypertension with Precision Care
Pulmonary Endarterectomy (PEA) is a highly specialized, life-saving surgery used to treat chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)—a condition caused by old, organized blood clots blocking the pulmonary arteries. These blockages increase pressure in the lungs and strain the heart, leading to breathlessness and reduced quality of life.
Dr. Abhinav Sharma offers advanced, patient-focused care for pulmonary vascular diseases using precise surgical techniques aimed at restoring normal blood flow and improving long-term outcomes. The goal is not just treatment, but a significant improvement in breathing, heart function, and overall well-being.
What is Pulmonary Endarterectomy (PEA)?
Pulmonary Endarterectomy is a complex surgical procedure that removes chronic clots and scar tissue from the pulmonary arteries. By clearing these blockages, the surgery restores normal blood circulation between the heart and lungs.
The procedure requires meticulous technique and is performed under controlled conditions to ensure complete removal of obstructions and optimal results.
When is Pulmonary Endarterectomy Needed?
PEA is recommended for patients diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), especially when symptoms persist despite medical treatment.
Common symptoms include severe breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, and reduced exercise capacity. Diagnostic tests such as CT scans, pulmonary angiography, and echocardiography help confirm the condition and determine suitability for surgery.
