Abstract

One-lung ventilation is a standard procedure for many types of lung surgery. The anesthesiologist can be challenged if unknown anomalies of the bronchial tree occur. We report a patient with a tracheal bronchus on the right side presenting for left pneumonectomy, and present one possible solution to airway management.

Keywords: Airwaymanagement; Bronchial anomaly; Doublelumentube; Pneumonectomy; Tracheal bronchus.
