Abstract Postpneumonectomy syndrome can have a significant clinical impact on a patient. It presents as progressive dyspnoea due to compression of the contralateral bronchus and/or pulmonary veins. Herein, we present a patient who over a 2-year period developed progressive dyspnoea on exertion and eventually also at rest, due to compression of her left mainstem bronchus and her left inferior pulmonary vein. Surgical correction with implantable adjustable saline implants was undertaken to ameliorate her symptoms. Concurrent use of intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography permitted real-time adjustment of the implants. This allowed objective measurement and demonstration of normalization of pulmonary vein velocity, which resulted in complete symptom resolution.

A 76-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital four times from November 2007 to June 2009. In this complex case, the patient had silicosis complicated by broncholithiasis, oesophagobronchial fistulas, and relapsed tuberculosis. She had worked as a stone crusher for 3 years and was exposed to a large amount of quartz dust. Barium oesophagography, gastroesophageal endoscopy, and biopsy suggested oesophageal-related chronic inflammation and ulceration, which may have caused the repeated oesophagobronchial fistulas. Bronchoscopy revealed a free broncholithiasis in the left mainstem bronchus. The patient was admitted a fourth time because of silicotuberculosis relapse. After 9 months of antituberculosis treatment, the patient recovered and was still clinically well at the time of this writing.
