UT Southwestern specializes in pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), a complex surgery for patients with blood clots caused by chronic pulmonary hypertension. For patient Dan Dudley, it was lifesaving.
People who develop a blood clot in the lungs typically treat it within three months by taking blood thinners. However, select patients with CTEPH must instead undergo surgery to remove the blood clot. Learn what surgical options are available at UT Southwestern.
