Abstract:
One lung ventilation with a double-lumen endotracheal tube or Univent tube may be achieved difficultly or dangerously in some patient such as young age, anatomic anomaly, low body weight and tracheostomy patient. Bronchial blocker with a Fogarty catheter has been used successfully for such situations. Here, we reported the clinical experience in using a Fogarty embolectomy catheter as a bronchial blocker in patient with tracheostomy after pharyngectomy and laryngectomy. The patient was received left upper lobectomy with thoracotomy due to metastatic lung cancer.
