Fig 1 Serial chest radiographs of a 67-year-old patient with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, significant pulmonary hypertension (right ventricular systolic pressure: 76/22 mm Hg), and obesity who underwent a minimally invasive mitral valve repair for Barlow’s disease. He experienced acute, unilateral, postoperative pulmonary edema shortly after returning to the intensive care unit. The serial chest radiographs demonstrate significant right lung opacification between the first and third postoperative days, with interval resolution thereafter.
