Pulmonary Endarterectomy for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Secondary to Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Valved Pulmonary Conduit Thrombosis
The novelty and clinical significance of this report lies in the confirmation of thrombosis of a large-diameter ePTFE valved pulmonary conduit (20 mm) and its implications for monitoring and need for further optimization of thromboprophylaxis strategies in this population.
