Abstract:
A 48-year-old man underwent resection of a right upper lobe necrotic tumor and part of his chest wall. Lobe-selective bronchial blockade of bleeding from the right upper lobe was achieved by combining a left-side double-lumen endotracheal tube with a bronchial blocker placed at the right intermediate bronchus. The bleeding right upper lobe was isolated, and the other lobes were protected from blood contamination during the lobectomy procedure.
