Abstract

A bronchial obstruction of the remaining lung is a rare complication of thoracic surgery. We report a case of this rare complication after a right upper lobectomy due to a giant bulla. Post-resectional angulation of the bronchus intermedius caused the bronchial obstruction. An intrabronchial stent was inserted into the bronchus intermedius, which relieved the obstruction.

저자들은 우상엽의 거대 공기집을 제거하는 우엽절제술 후 우중간기관지의 꺾임에 의한 기관지 폐쇄가 발생하여 기관지 스텐트 삽입술로 폐쇄를 호전시킨 1예를 경험 하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
