A 59 year-old man with a right-sided aortic arch who had a T4 right lung cancer invading the proximal superior pulmonary vein underwent an intrapericardial-pneumonectomy with partial left atrium resection and a radical lymphadenectomy. The presence of a right-sided aortic arch required particular attention during dissection of the lymph nodes. This is the first case of a right-pneumonectomy for T4-lung cancer in a patient with a right-sided aortic arch.

Abstract
A 59 year-old man with a right-sided aortic arch who had a T4 right lung cancer invading the proximal superior pulmonary vein underwent an intrapericardial-pneumonectomy with partial left atrium resection and a radical lymphadenectomy. The presence of a right-sided aortic arch required particular attention during dissection of the lymph nodes. This is the first case of a right-pneumonectomy for T4-lung cancer in a patient with a right-sided aortic arch.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
