Many special problems attend removal of such a vital organ. Chief among the difficulties encountered is the effect on the heart and remaining lung of the abrupt shunting of the entire pulmonary circulation through the vascular bed of the one undisturbed lung. This fact takes on even more importance when one considers that there is probably no other part of the body, the derangements of which have such a profound influence upon...Bibliography1.
