Thoracoplasty and contralateral pneumothorax.
In certain instances of bilateral pulmonary tuberculosis it is a frequent practice to recommend induction of an artificial pneumothorax (A.P.) to control disease on one side when indications for thoracoplasty on the other side are clear cut. 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...
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 کاملTension pneumothorax and contralateral presumed pneumothorax from endobronchial intubation via cricothyroidotomy.
Cricothyroidotomy can be a life-saving procedure for the "can't intubate, can't ventilate" patient who has upper-airway obstruction. The procedure is usually fast and easy to do; however, complications have been reported. We report two cases in which cricothyroidotomy with an endotracheal tube led to unrecognized endobronchial intubation, ipsilateral tension pneumothorax, contralateral presumed...
متن کاملcontralateral pneumothorax mimicking bilateral pneumothoraces in a patient with autopneumonectomy
contralateral pneumothorax crossing the midline in a patient with autopneumonectomy can mimic bilateral pneumothoraces on chest radiography. in this study, we report a rare case of right pneumothorax mimicking bilateral pneumothoraces in a patient with left autopneumonectomy. a 37-year-old man complained of progressive chest pain and dyspnea. the initial chest radiography revealed visible visce...
