title: [Heart surgery in 2 previously pneumonectomized patients].
abstract: Two cases of cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass in previously pneumonectomized patients are reported. In one case a postoperative tension pneumothorax required an emergency drainage. No other complications occurred. The authors describe their technique and underline the value of an adequate pre-operative respiratory preparation and a systematic drainage of the pleural cavity.
