| Abstract | Bronchial stump fistula occurred on the seventh postoperative day in a 45-year-old man who underwent right pneumonectomy for T2N2M0 adenocarcinoma of the lung. It was attributable to ventilator-related barotrauma during treatment of ARDS from multiple pulmonary emboli. A frequently lethal complication, its presentation, management and prevention in the early postoperative period are discussed. |
