説明

A 45 year-old man, whose left lateral chest had been injured about 2 weeks earlier, was admitted to our hospital. His clinical diagnosis was left clotted hemothorax and multiple rib fracture. Drainage of the thoracic space with the thoracic catheter was performed, but reexpansion of the lung was inadequate due to the presence of residual clot. So we performed video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to remove the clot. We could examine the contents of the thoracic space by Video assisted thoracoscopy and performed drainage, irrigation and decortication through the minimal thoracotomy window. The post operative course was uneventful. The lung was re-expanded on the chest X-ray films, and respiratory function improved. We concluded that the clotted hemothorax after chest trauma may be a good indication for VATS.
