    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1996 Oct; 44(5):264-5. PubMed ID: 8948557.
    Abstract:
    We performed a sleeve lobectomy on a patient with squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung who had poor pulmonary function and could not move his extremities or trunk, due to a muscular dystrophy. Lung cancer in a highly disabled patient can be resected even with a bronchoplastic procedure.
