  • Title: [Right main bronchus tumoral obstruction during left pneumonectomy].
    Author: Markowicz P, Fossier T.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 2006 Jun; 25(6):648-51. PubMed ID: 16600563.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of severe airway obstruction during a pneumonectomy, due to a tumor embolus in the contralateral main bronchus. Trachea was intubated with a single-lumen tube with a bronchial blocker. This kind of accident is very rare, and often fatal. The mass was retrieved by rigid bronchoscopy and the patient made an uneventful recovery.
