The Provincial People's Hospital doesn't dare perform it. If it's not open-heart surgery, they could attempt using thoracoscopy. Thoracoscopy anesthesia requires collapsing one lung to create space for the surgery. How do you collapse the lung in the case of a pulmonary embolism?
"His lung surgery was performed on the left side. If it were on the right side, there would be no need to even consider it; thoracoscopy would definitely not be feasible anytime soon. Now he has pulmonary embolism on both sides; it's more severe on the left," Shim Youhuan continued to explain the doctors' thoughts here.
The routine for thoracoscopy heart surgery requires making an incision on the right side, collapsing the right lung.
"Have you communicated these ideas with your hospital's surgical department? What assistance do you plan to request from the surgeons?" Yu Xuexian pressed.
