Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy -

Every year, nearly 100,000 people die from blood clots in the lungs. Steve, 54, came close to being one of those fatalities. Watch as doctors perform a pulmonary thromboendarterectomy, a potentially life-threatening surgery that makes the patient's heart stop for 20 minutes and drains his blood, which allows them to see and remove the clots. <br> <i>The following video contains footage of actual medical procedures and is graphic in nature.</i>

I found this video and HAD to comment. This great doctor, Stuart Jamieson and his staff did this same surgery on me 14 years ago this week! 11-20-95! I only had one-third of one lung supporting my body at the time, and had a hole in my heart from all the work it was doing. The SECOND that I woke up I could breathe!! Dr. Jamieson hasn't changed much, except for the color of his hair:) Is there anyway that I could get in touch with the man on the show? I don't know anyone else that has had this surgery and would love to chat about it. Thank you.
