Abstract
PURPOSE: Post-pneumonectomy pulmonary edema (PPE) is a well-known postoperative complication, occurring in 8-10% of cases, with a high mortality rate of 60-80%. The cause of PPE has been extensively investigated and is widely believed to be multifactorial.

The aim of this study was to determine dilatation of pore diameter after pulmonary resection.
