We are convinced on the basis of experiments made on animals and on the basis of observations made during pneumonectomies operations, that the expired CO2 does not originate only from the arterial pulmonary system. Our experineces prove that the expired CO2 originates in a not negligible quantity from the blood of the bronchial arteries and the metabolism of the lung.
Possible reasons for surgical failures in TOS were investigated. The importance of accurate clinical diagnosis is pointed out and differential diagnostic problems are reported. Transaxillary first-rib resection is recommended, supplemented by further intervention, if necessary. The term "surgical failure" is explained, ways of avoiding intraoperative complications detailed and the importance of complex post-operative treatment emphasized.
