Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare complication of right pneumonectomy characterized by marked shift and counterclockwise rotation of the heart and mediastinum into the evacuated hemithorax. Typically the left primary bronchus is draped over the aorta or spine and is markedly compressed. We describe one patient with postpneumonectomy syndrome successfully managed nonsurgically with a bronchoscopically placed Silastic endobronchial stent.
肺切除术后综合征是右肺切除术后一种罕见的并发症，其特征为心脏和纵隔明显移位并逆时针旋转进入患侧胸腔。通常情况下，左主支气管会覆盖在主动脉或脊柱上方，并受到明显压迫。我们描述了一例肺切除术后综合征患者，通过支气管镜置入硅橡胶支气管内支架成功进行了非手术治疗。
