Abstract:
A 58-year-old man with tracheobronchomegaly underwent simultaneous bilateral pulmonary surgery via median sternotomy for left spontaneous pneumothorax with bilateral giant bullae. Postoperative hypoxaemia and pneumonia necessitated ventilator and antibiotic treatment. Simultaneous bilateral pulmonary operations in patients with tracheobronchomegaly carry a risk of respiratory complications.
