We describe a simple and minimally invasive procedure to decompress a large emphysematous bullae in a patient with advanced COPD and high surgical risk. Transthoracic decompression of the bulla was accomplished under sho...

متن کاملPrimary bronchogenic carcinoma associated with emphysematous giant bulla.
Operations for emphysematous giant bulla have been performed on 17 patients. Complications of primary lung cancer were observed in four of the 17 patients. All the patients who had such lung cancer were male and heavy smokers.
