Abstract
We report the case of a patient that had undergone a left pneumonectomy during which a double-lumen tube was used and an undetected right bronchial laceration occurred. After diagnosis the patient underwent a second operation to repair the tear. The role of high-frequency percussive ventilation in enabling adequate gas exchange during the bronchial repair is described and discussed.
