Abstract
- 1.1. A case of recurrent atelectasis is reported following biopsy of the left breast and five days later radical removal of the left breast.
- 2.2. Both instances occurred on the right side; the first involving the right lower lobe and the second the right lower and right middle lobe.
- 3.3. Mild cardiac failure seems to be the only condition present in both instances. Its connection with the vasomotor theory is discussed.
- 4.4. The time intervals between the operations and the occurrence we believe are the shortest ones yet reported postoperatively.
