[HSF] ask Pasanna

How is the X ray post op. Is there any localized pulmonary edema due to 
PV ligation ? If it was piercing the diaphragm another possibility would 
have been extra lobar sequestration of the lung but then your X Ray 
would have shown something.
If you could do a post op X ray it will be pretty instructive.
 Thanks for the interesting case .
