| Sumario: | Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare consequence of acute or chronic pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the gold standard treatment: expert centers are able to offer this challenging procedure with low in-hospital mortality, excellent hemodynamic results, and significant improvement in exercise tolerance and quality of life. Despite careful preoperative selection and increasing technical experience in PEA, some patients may suffer from life-threatening complications requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS). ECLS is necessary in case of heart failure, respiratory failure, or both. According to different indications and timing, cardiopulmonary failure after PEA should be managed with a tailored approach: veno-venous or veno-arterial support, and central or peripheral cannulation. In the present chapter, causes, management strategies, and outcomes of perioperative ECLS for PEA are discussed. |
