우폐하엽의 폐암이 심낭과 좌심방의 하폐정맥 유입구를 침범한 62세 남자 환자에서 심폐체외순환을 이용하여 우폐 중하엽절제술을 시행하였다. 환자는 수술 후 제2일째에 우폐상엽의 국한성 폐부종이 발생하였으며 폐부종이 치료된 후 우폐의 기관지늑막루가 발생하였다. 유경대망을 이용하여 기관지 늑막루를 봉합하였다. 그 후의 임상 경과는 양호하였으며 환자는 현재 6년째 재발 없이 건강히 지내고 있다.
We report a case of a patient with lung cancer, which invaded the left atrium and pericardium. Right middle and lower lobectomy was performed with the use of the extracorporeal circulation. Postoperative pathologic examination revealed the stage of IIIB (T4N1MO). Although the postoperative clinical course was complicated by acute localized right sided pulmonary edema and the bronchopleural fistula, the patient recovered smoothly after the procedure of omentopexy with pedicled graft of greater omentum in closing the BPF. As of August 2003, he has been followed up for 6 years and he is healthy without any evidence of recurrence. We could not find any report concerning lung cancer resection using cardiopulmonary bypass in Korean literature and believe this is the first report, especially with long-term survival.
