TY - JOUR AU - Fragkidis, Alexander AU - Dimitriou, Alexander AU - Dougenis, Dimitrios PY - 2012 DA - 2012/10/10 TI - Coronary Artery bypass grafting and/or valvular surgery in patients with previous pneumonectomy JO - Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery SP - 110 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - There is a lack of data regarding heart surgery on patients who have been previously pneumectomized. These patients pose unique challenges and surgical management may necessitate deviations from standard methods in the perioperative course. To summarize the available knowledge and to assess the optimal methods, we reviewed all reported patients with prior pneumonectomy who were subjected to coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve surgery.
