title: [Postpneumonectomy pulmonary edema. Review of the literature. Apropos of 2 new cases].
abstract: Postpneumonectomy pulmonary edema is a poorly understood clinical entity. We report two new cases and review the literature. The main manifestations are increased pulmonary perfusion flow, endothelial damage, and amputation of the lymphatic system. Treatment depends on the physiological situation of the lung remaining after pneumonectomy. Prevention requires co-operation between the medical and surgical teams.
