Destructed lung and pneumonectomy are associated with anatomic and physiologic changes that may interfere with the conduct of subsequent open heart surgery. Here we report a case of an autopneumonectomized patient who required open heart surgery. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management of this patient was unique. Open heart procedures on patients with a single lung can be performed with acceptable operative mortality and morbidity.
