Contralateral pneumothorax after pneumonectomy for carcinoma.
Fortunately, contralateral pneumothorax occurs rarely after pneumonectomy. This complication was detected during the immediate postoperative period in four of 340 patients having pneumonectomy for carcinoma at the Ochsner Clinic from January 1942 through June 1958. To our knowledge delayed pneumothorax has not occurred in any of the remaining patients. This lends support to the impression that ...
متن کاملContralateral pneumothorax after cardiac pacemaker implantation
We report a case of a 73-year-old man, who was scheduled for elective dual chamber pacemaker implantation because of paroxysmal second-degree atrioventricular block. The pacemaker pocket was located in the left in-fraclavicular fossa. An active fixation ventricular lead was implanted into the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) through the left cephalic vein venesection, while another active...
متن کاملAcute Tension Pneumothorax Following Cardiac Herniation after Pneumonectomy
A tension pneumothorax is one of the main causes of cardiac arrest in the initial postoperative period after thoracic surgery. Tension pneumothorax and cardiac herniation must be taken into account in hemodynamically unstable patients after pneumonectomy. We report an unusual case of successful treatment of acute tension pneumothorax following cardiac herniation and intrathoracic bleeding after...
متن کاملA surgical intervention using percutaneous cardiopulmonary support for contralateral pneumothorax following pneumonectomy.
We here, describe a 63-year-old man presenting with a contralateral pneumothorax following pneumonectomy. After setting up a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) system in advance in preparation for hypoxemia during the operation, resection of bullae was performed. His oxygen saturation and hemodynamic status were stable intraoperatively and we achieved a successful and safe operation sw...
متن کاملThoracoplasty and contralateral pneumothorax.

A number of writers over the last 16 years have pointed out the extra risk and added danger of operating with a contralateral A.P. present, but have not sp...
