Life-Threatening Postpneumonectomy Syndrome Complicated with Right Aortic Arch after Left Pneumonectomy

Figure 2

Computed tomography taken two weeks after mediastinal repositioning. Complete adhesiolysis of the left thoracic cavity was performed and a thoracostoma was created. Piles of gauze were inserted to maintain the proper mediastinum position. The compression of the bronchus was released, and the lumens of the bronchus intermedius ((a) arrow) and right lower bronchus ((b) arrowhead) were sufficiently patent. Ao, right descending aorta; PA, right pulmonary artery; Es, esophagus.
