On the 3rd day after surgery, around 8 a.m., his blood pressure decreased unexpectedly, and due to this and a continuous low EF, an IABP (Intra Aortic Balloon Pump) was inserted before a control chest X-ray confirmed its correct position (Fig. 1-A). His second chest X-ray of the day, taken just hours after the first, revealed a large haziness in the right lung's middle and inferior lobes (Fig. 1-B).
