Abstract
In patients undergoing pneumonectomy with concomitant pericardiectomy, patch closure of the defect in the pericardium is required to prevent postoperative cardiac herniation. We used harvested autologous fascia lata as a pericardial patch in such operations on 6 patients with progressive lung cancer after induction chemoradiotherapy.Entities:
