Pulmonary Endarterectomy

Please follow the below instructions to prepare for your PEA surgery:

• Inform your doctor on your current medications as some medicines are unsuitable for consumption before a surgery. These include blood thinners, as well as traditional medications (which may contain blood thinners or steroids).
• If you are a smoker, please refrain from smoking during this time period.
• Provide your clinician with a list of your medical history, particularly for allergies.
• You may need to undergo other medical examinations prior to the surgery. Some examples of the tests include:
• ECG (electrocardiogram)
• Blood tests
• Chest x-ray
• Urine sample
