Focal mediastinal radiolucency to the immediate left of the distal part of the trachea was evident on a frontal chest radiograph 12 days after heart-lung transplantation in a 31-year-old woman. Bronchoscopy revealed ulcerating necrosis immediately distal to the tracheal anastomosis. We conclude that chest radiography may show focal mediastinal air as the first sign of anastomotic necrosis of a major airway after lung transplantation.
一名31岁女性在心肺移植术后12天的胸部正位X线片上,可见气管远端紧邻左侧的纵隔局部透亮区。支气管镜检查显示气管吻合口远端即刻出现溃疡性坏死。我们得出结论,胸部X线检查可能显示纵隔局部积气,作为肺移植后主气道吻合口坏死的首个征象。
