Ohri SK, Siddiqui AA, Townsend ER
Cardiac herniation and torsion after intrapericardial pneumonectomy without closure of the pericardium is widely recognized. However, such a complication occurring after lobectomy has been rarely discussed in the literature. We describe a case of cardiac torsion of late onset that developed in a woman who had undergone left upper lobectomy as part of a resection for a malignant thymoma.
