Former NBA Star Gets PTE for Pulmonary Blood Clots |
When clots don't go away, they can turn into scar tissue, or chronic clots in the walls of the pulmonary arteries, and this can lead to CTEPH.Surgeons attached Bryant to a heart-lung bypass machine, cooling his body to 64 degrees Fahrenheit to protect his organs. Surgeons then turn off the heart-lung machine, stopping circulation for up to 20 minutes.
They open the arteries and remove the clots."I've since learned how to pace myself, now," Bryant said.For patients who are not well enough or strong enough for the ten-hour pte surgery, doctors can also try medications, or use a minimally invasive balloon catheter to try and push the clots out of the way. If not treated, the clots can become life-threatening.
