  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 69-year-old woman recieved an urgent coronary artery bypass grafting. Her postoperative course was uneventful. However, a right-sided pleural effusion became significant over the following three weeks. Thoracentesis was performed to aspirate 1,400 ml of pleural effusion within three hours. Her clinical status deteriorated rapidly with severe coughing, pinkish frothy expectoration, and dyspnea. A chest-x-ray film and chest computed tomography revealed unilateral pulmonary alveolar and interstitial infiltration at the right, middle and lower lobes. She recovered from localized re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) fol-lowing diuretics, administration of steroids, and respira-tory management.

It should be kept in mind that RPE can occur in patients after drainage of pleural effusion. In the litera-ture it is shown that RPE is fated in 16-33% of cases. It is important for the treatment of RPE to diagnosis it quickly and provide suitable therapy.
