Intrathoracic infection associated with actual or potential leakage of the airway, esophagus, heart, and great vessels is a life-threatening situation that is seen infrequently. Failure to control these infections with the usual techniques often can be attributed to the presence of a persistent pleural space and continuing empyema. Intrathoracic transposition of extrathoracic skeletal muscle in these situations offers an effective method of management.
与气道、食管、心脏和大血管的实际或潜在漏出相关的胸腔内感染是一种危及生命的情况，较为罕见。采用常规技术未能控制这些感染，通常可归因于持续存在的胸腔间隙和持续的脓胸。在这些情况下，将胸外骨骼肌转移至胸腔内提供了一种有效的治疗方法。
