Computational analysis of lung deformation after murine pneumonectomy

open access: yes, 2014
In many mammalian species, the removal of one lung (pneumonectomy) is associated with the compensatory growth of the remaining lung. To investigate the hypothesis that parenchymal deformation may trigger lung regeneration, we used microCT scanning to ...

Pneumonectomy. quality of life and long-term results

open access: yes, 2012
Pneumonectomy is the standard surgery for resectable locally advanced lung cancer. Objectives of this study were: 1) to assess the overall survival; 2) to evaluate the pulmonary and cardiac function impairment; 3) to monitor quality of life (QoL) in a ...

Dynamic Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Left Pneumonectomy

open access: yes
Pulmonary vein stenosis might be caused by mediastinal migration into the vacated pleural space after pneumonectomy. In a patient complaining of worsening dyspnea in the left lateral decubitus position after left pneumonectomy, transthoracic ...

Lung Cancer Surgery Part E: Pneumonectomy

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of surgical treatment of non-small cell lung cancer is complete resection. Lately, the number of patients in whom pneumonectomy is necessary is decreasing attributable to advances in diagnostic imaging and improved techniques for surgery such as ...

Delayed cardiac herniation after left pneumonectomy

open access: yes
Cardiac herniation is a rare potentially life-threatening complication that can occur after pneumonectomy, involving displacement of the heart through a pericardial defect, which can lead to hemodynamic instability, impaired cardiac function, and in ...

Combined spontaneous contralateral pneumothorax and post-pneumonectomy mediastinal shift-associated dextrocardia.

open access: yes, 2011
We report here on an unusual late postoperative presentation of extreme post-pneumonectomy dextrocardia and spontaneous contralateral pneumothorax presenting as late complications occurring approximately 2 years after right-sided pneumonectomy.

Management of medical complications after pneumonectomy

open access: yes, 2020
Pneumonectomy is still a surgical alternative for some patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. However, it is associated with a significant incidence of perioperative morbidity and mortality, far higher than other pulmonary resections, and ...

Pre-and post-operative cardiac evaluation of dogs undergoing lobectomy and pneumonectomy

open access: yes, 2010
This study aimed to assess the influence of lobectomy and pneumonectomy on cardiac rhythm and on the dimensions and function of the right-side of the heart.

Strangulation of the heart following intrapericardial pneumonectomy

open access: yes, 1968
Two cases of strangulation of the heart following left intrapericardial pneumonectomy are described. The condition presents in the immediate post-operative period by sudden fall of blood pressure associated with a high central venous pressure.

Recruitment of lung diffusing capacity with exercise before and after pneumonectomy in dogs

open access: yes, 1991
Although the left lung constitutes 42% of the total by weight and volume in dogs, carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DL) after left pneumonectomy in adults falls less than 30% at rest, indicating a significant increase of DL in the remaining lung.
