Abstract
|
|
|
Airway obstruction may be caused by extreme mediastinal shift and rotation after right pneumonecotomy or after left pneumonectomy in the presence of right aortic arch. We experienced such a complication after right pneumonectomy, so called right
postpneumonectomy syndrome. The patient was 28 years old female, and 4 month age she had undergone right pneumonectomy via video assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) for endobronchial tuberculosi dissemination and secondary pulmonary infection. She
was
treated by mediastinal repositioning which were composed of substernal fixation of pericardium and insertion of expandable prosthesis of 1000 cc capacity. She had good postoperative course and now she feels no obstructive symptoms. (Korean J
