Re-Expansion Pulmonary Edema Following Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: A Case Report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is a rare complication of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). We present a case of RPE following atrial septal defect (ASD) closure using a thoracotomy approach and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). REP contributes to significant morbidity and extends the length of stays in the intensive care unit. Understanding the pathophysiology and risk factors of RPE allows us to prevent or minimize the incidence.
