PURPOSE: @entity385 is a rare complication of lung resection that can result in severe sequelae. Our aim was to investigate the characteristics of @entity1 who suffer from @entity385 after surgery for @entity2 . METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all @entity1 who underwent resection of at least a single lobe for @entity2 at our institution between January 2008 and October 2013. We compared the @entity1 who presented with @entity385 with those @entity1 who did not within 30  days of surgery. RESULTS: A total of 562 @entity1 underwent surgery, with five males and one female subsequently experiencing @entity385 . Five @entity1 underwent @entity1002 and one underwent left lower lobectomy. @entity1 age, sex, body mass index, smoking index, and operative time were not significantly different between the six @entity1 with @entity385 and the other 556 @entity1 ; only the type of operative procedure was significantly different (p  <  0.001). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed @entity715 in the stump of the left superior pulmonary vein in @entity1 with @entity385 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity385 occurs at a high frequency in @entity1 who undergo @entity2 . @entity715 in the left superior @entity358 might cause @entity385 .

Is XXXX a risk factor for @entity385 ?
