Trepopnea is a condition whereby breathing may be comfortable in one position but difficult or labored in another. A unique case with trepopnea due to recurrent lung cancer with right main pulmonary artery stenosis and left main bronchus obstruction is presented. The patient had developed trepopnea 3 months earlier, but developed orthopnea shortly before he was admitted to our hospital. An emergent wall stent implantation was performed via the right femoral vein in the sitting position with the patient's leg stretched out. The symptoms and respiratory function improved after stent implantation.
体位性呼吸急促是一种在一种体位时呼吸可能舒适，但在另一种体位时呼吸困难或费力的病症。本文介绍了一例因复发性肺癌伴右主肺动脉狭窄和左主支气管阻塞导致体位性呼吸急促的独特病例。该患者3个月前出现体位性呼吸急促，但在入院前不久出现了端坐呼吸。在患者腿部伸直的坐姿下，经右股静脉紧急进行了壁式支架植入术。支架植入后症状和呼吸功能得到改善。
