Abstract

Abstract: This study describes the perioperative management of a 68-year-old Jehovah's Witness patient with chronic pulmonary thromboembolism, multiple comorbidities, and undergoing pulmonary thromboendarterectomy. The patient had a satisfactory perioperative evolution, demonstrating the feasibility of this complex procedure in this population with a comprehensive and timely approach, complemented by an evaluation from a multidisciplinary team.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
