  • Title: Tuberculous tracheobronchial stricture causing post-pneumonectomy-like syndrome corrected by insertion of a bespoke Dumon stent.
    Author: King JE, Lau RW, Wan IY, Yim AP.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2008 Apr; 7(2):267-8. PubMed ID: 18073229.
    Abstract:
    Post-pneumonectomy syndrome is a well-recognised but uncommon late complication of pneumonectomy. Usually occurring after right-sided surgery, the mediastinal contents are rotated and displaced into the right hemithorax, producing airways or oesophageal compression. We report a case in which the radiological features and symptoms of post-pneumonectomy syndrome appeared to be precipitated by the development of a complex tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis that resolved after the insertion of a bespoke Dumon stent.
