This is the most recent study of outcome in a large series of pneumonectomy patients. This gives perhaps the most valid evaluation of post-pneumonectomy mortality.

This is the first clinical evidence that overdistention of the lung may be a factor in the etiology of post-pneumonectomy pulmonary edema.
