Postneumonectomy syndrome has only been described after a right pneumonectomy except in cases of congenital mediastinal anomalies or right-sided aortic arch. Placement of Silastic prostheses into the empty hemithorax is the preferred surgical treatment; however, other nonsurgical options exist. Herein, we report a case of left postpneumonectomy syndrome in an adult who was successfully treated with the placement of an endobronchial stent.
除先天性纵隔异常或右侧主动脉弓病例外，肺切除术后综合征仅在右肺切除术后被描述过。将硅橡胶假体置入空的半侧胸腔是首选的手术治疗方法；然而，也存在其他非手术选择。在此，我们报告一例成人左肺切除术后综合征患者，其通过置入支气管内支架成功治愈。
