Objective:
We report two cases of acute proximal anterior circulation occlusion after pulmonary lobectomy.
Case Presentation:
Case 1 was a 64-year-old male who presented with occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) one day after left lower lobectomy. Case 2 was a 68-year-old male who presented with occlusion of the right internal carotid artery (ICA). In both cases, mechanical thrombectomy was performed for complete recanalization and symptoms were improved.
Conclusion:
Prompt mechanical thrombectomy in the acute phase after pulmonary lobectomy improved the prognosis of patients with acute proximal anterior circulation occlusion. It is important to share information about ischemic complications with medical staff engaged in thoracic surgery.

These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
