ABSTRACT
A 77-year-old man with clinical stage II squamous cell carcinoma underwent right intrapericardial pneumonectomy. After an initially uneventful course he was readmitted with right-sided empyema, bronchopleural fistula, and pulmonary embolus. This was managed with initial resuscitation and anticoagulant agents, followed by debridement and closure of the fistula with biologic mesh reinforced with a pedicled diaphragm muscle flap.
