[The diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary circulatory disorders after resection for tuberculosis]. 2005

M E Kobak, and Iu V Kirillov, and T S Basek, and E A Popova, and K N Pesikin

The authors analyzed postoperative complications after 4174 pulmonectomies for tuberculosis in the period of 1982-2004. The verified cases of acute venous circulatory disorders in the remnants of the lung after partial resections were observed in 12 (0.3%) patients. The main causes of hemorrhagic infarct of the part of the lung were erroneous ligation of the vein or its rupture; thrombosis of the venous trunk; partial removal of a pulmonary portion with devascularized tissue left; extensive intrapulmonary hematomas. In case of acute circulatory disorder developed in the resected lung, mortality may amount to as high as 58% due to secondary complications (sepsis in the presence of generalized gangrene and lung tissue decay, purulent pleurisy with bronchopleurothoracic fistulas, arrosion profuse hemorrhage). The above complication is a rare, but extremely severe iatrogenic abnormality largely associated with shortcomings of surgical techniques.
