Late complications. Postpneumonectomy syndrome.

R J Mehran1, J Deslauriers.   

Abstract

Postpneumonectomy syndrome is an unusual complication of pneumonectomy characterized by excessive mediastinal displacement towards the empty pleural space with secondary tracheobronchial compression. Successful management involves repositioning of the mediastinum through the use of an intrapleural prosthesis.
