| Popis: | The use of balloon catheters as an interventional procedure is well established in various fields of medicine. Failure of single lung ventilation (SLV) can add difficulty to open bronchus procedures, and could result in a life-threatening situation very quickly. Trying to achieve single lung ventilation by alternate methods is fraught with dangers, and use of urgent cardiopulmonary bypass is less desirable because of increased primary graft dysfunction and mortality. We describe a novel approach of using a Fogarty balloon catheter through the open bronchus to achieve SLV during off-pump left lung transplantation when conventional SLV failed. |
