In selective patients with T4 non-small cell lung cancer with
the primary tumor invading the mediastinal organs, extended
lung resection may contribute to long-term survival. Adequate
patients should be given a chance for surgery if complete
resection and required reconstruction can be achieved. In this
article, we report a 63-year-old male patient with T4 non-small
cell lung cancer invading the left atrium. In the patient, we
performed an extended left pneumonectomy with en bloc partial
resection of the left atrium wall (4×2.5 cm) where the defect was
repaired with pericardial patch via cardiopulmonary bypass. No
severe complication developed postoperatively. The patient who
was given adjuvant chemotherapy has been living for more than
10 years without disease.
