Abstract

A 74-year-old woman underwent left S6 segmentectomy for the surgical diagnosis and treatment of lung tumor. After general anesthesia had been induced, a 35 Fr left-sided double lumen tube was introduced. During surgery, we observed a longitudinal rupture of the left mainstem bronchus. An emergency left thoracotomy was performed following surgical repair of the rupture. No problem of note occurred during the postoperative period. Bronchial rupture is a rare and critical complication of intubation with a double lumen tube. We discuss and report this case with some literature references.
