  • Title: [A case of cardiac herniation following intrapericardial pneumonectomy after induction chemoradiotherapy].

    Abstract:
    A case of cardiac herniation following left intrapericardial pneumonectomy after induction chemoradiotherapy has been presented. Curative resection after induction chemoradiotherapy for central bronchogenic cancer may require intrapericardial pneumonectomy. Cardiac herniation through the pericardial defect is a fatal complication after a pneumonectomy unless pericardial repair should be done immediately. Closure of the pericardial defect with prosthetic patch, regardless of defect size, is always necessary for the prevention of the cardiac herniation following intrapericardial pneumonectomy after induction chemoradiotherapy.
