Abstract
Atelectasis is one of the most common
pulmonary complications seen in the cardiac surgery. However, it resolves with
physiotherapy and without further intervention in most of the cases. This is the
case report involving atelectasis in the post operative period. Fifty-six years
old male with single vessel disease and severe aortic stenosis with moderate
aortic regurgitation underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve
replacement. Subsequently, he developed complete right upper lobe atelectasis during
the post-operative period which required maximum intervention such as
bronchoscopic intervention and cryoextraction of the bronchial mass prior to
extubation. Silent bronchial adenomas may undergo haemorrhagic transformation
leading to complete bronchial occlusion and atelectasis.
