Acute limb ischemia of the lower extremity associated with left upper lobe surgery for primary lung cancer

Thrombosis formation in the pulmonary vein stump after pulmonary lobectomy has recently been reported to be an extremely rare cause of arterial embolism. We herein report the first case series of acute limb ischemia encountered after video-assisted thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy or left upper di...
