Lobectomy as a Complication of Pulmonary Infarct after Sub segmental Pulmonary Embolism

John F Lazar and Paulovich K

We present a case of a 41 year old African-American male with a history of thromboembolic events that was found to have a SSP as a result of pulmonary infarct. Patient underwent definitive surgical intervention, lobectomy, after failure of initial management with thoracostomy tube and video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) with wedge resection and pleurodesis.
