Figure 1 A preoperative upright chest radiograph (A) and a coronal-reconstructed computed tomographic scan (B) demonstrate the anatomic changes associated with previous right pneumonectomy, including significant tracheal deviation (white line). Both axial (C) and sagittal-reconstructed (D) computed tomographic scans also reveal the presence of a hiatal hernia (white arrowheads).

Figure 2 A, A postoperative upright chest radiograph demonstrates the interval placement of a tracheostomy and postsurgical changes. B, A sagittal image from thin barium esophagogram demonstrates the position of the new esophageal conduit. C, An axial computed tomographic scan also demonstrates this position.
