Surgeons: At the Edge of Life
Season 4 Episode 3 of 6
At Royal Papworth Hospital, cardiothoracic surgeon Aman Coonar takes on a challenging case. His patient, 30-year-old Dannee, developed a persistent cough early in 2020. She had a rare type of tumour in her bronchus - the airway that leads to the lung. Aman must operate right up against the pulmonary artery - one of the biggest blood vessels in the body - where the slightest damage could cause a torrential bleed
