Title: | Salvage Lobectomy to Treat Necrotizing SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia Complicated by a Bronchopleural Fistula | Authors: | Peeters, Karen MESOTTEN, Dieter Willaert, Xavier Deraedt, Karen Nauwelaers, Sigi LAUWERS, Geert |
Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC | Source: | The annals of thoracic surgery, 111 (2) , p. E241 -E243 | Abstract: | We report a case of necrotizing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia complicated by a bronchopleural fistula and treated by decortication and salvage lobectomy. Owing to the unknown characteristics of the underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection, treatment of the abscess and bronchopleural fistula was delayed. This may have resulted in further deterioration of the patient, with ensuing multiple organ dysfunction. Complications of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, such as a bacterial abscess and a bronchopleural fistula, should be treated as if the patient were not infected with SARS-CoV-2.
