An 80-year-old man presented with the characteristic triad of yellow nail syndrome (chronic respiratory disorders, primary lymphedema and yellow nails) in association with coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Treatment with mechanical pleurodesis and vitamin E resulted in near complete resolution of the yellow nails, pleural effusions, and lower extremity edema. The etiology of the yellow nail syndrome has been described as an anatomical or functional lymphatic abnormality. Several conditions have previously been described as associated with this disease. This is the first report of the association of this syndrome with thoracic surgery.
一名80岁男性患者出现黄甲综合征（慢性呼吸系统疾病、原发性淋巴水肿和黄甲）的典型三联征，且与冠状动脉搭桥手术相关。采用机械性胸膜固定术和维生素E治疗后，黄甲、胸腔积液和下肢水肿几乎完全消退。黄甲综合征的病因被描述为解剖学或功能性淋巴异常。此前已有几种疾病被描述为与该综合征相关。这是该综合征与胸外科手术相关的首例报告。
