Fig 4 Through a right mini-thoracotomy, the right pulmonary artery (PA) was easily identified, and exposure extended toward the pericardium. The pericardium and superior vena cava were dissected, and the pulmonary artery was widely exposed and taped. The pulmonary artery was incised vertically, and direct embolectomy was performed, followed by balloon embolectomy. (PV = pulmonary vein.)
