Abstract

<p>　Reexpansion pulmonary edema is rare in patients undergoing open heart surgery other than minimally invasive cardiac surgery. We herein report our experience with a case of unilateral pulmonary edema after reinflation of a collapsed lung that had been compressed by surgical bleeding in a patient undergoing valve replacement. This case illustrates that preoperative chronic pulmonary hypertension can lead to postoperative reexpansion pulmonary edema. Thus, surgeons, perfusionists, and anesthesiologists should focus on preoperative pulmonary hypertension and collaborate with one another to prevent the development of reexpansion pulmonary edema.</p>
