Successful treatment of late onset empyema after extrapleural pneumonectomy: A case report
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019 Treatment of post-extrapleural pneumonectomy empyema (PEPPE) is more difficult than that for post-pneumonectomy empyema for two reasons: first, a large infectious dead space remains after extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP); and second, defects of the ...

Outcomes after pneumonectomy versus limited lung resection in adults with traumatic lung injury. [PDF]
, 2020 Pneumonectomy after traumatic lung injury (TLI) is associated with shock, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and eventual right ventricular failure. Historically, trauma pneumonectomy (TP) mortality rates ranged between 53 and 100%.

Pneumonectomy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Predictors of Operative Mortality and Survival
Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2020 Surgery is the most effective way to cure non-small cell lung cancer currently. Although sleeve lobectomy, with less reduction of respiratory function and a lower mortality rate, would not compromise oncological results in well-selected patients with ...
