Pulmonary resection and contralateral anomalous venous drainage: a lethal combination

M D Black et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1992 Apr.

Abstract

A 72-year-old acyanotic woman had development of acute right heart failure with systemic hypotension 2 hours after a curative right intrapericardial pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer. A postoperative pulmonary angiogram revealed a major left to right shunt through previously unsuspected partial anomalous venous drainage of the left upper lobe of the lung.
