Abstract
This single-center experience demonstrates excellent overall outcomes for surgical pulmonary embolectomy, with resolution of right ventricular dysfunction and comparable morbidity and mortality for central and peripheral PE. In an experienced center and when physiologically warranted, surgical pulmonary embolectomy for peripheral distribution of thrombus is technically feasible and effective.
