Your lungs are each surrounded by two layers of membrane. The space between the layers is called the pleural space. Excess fluid, blood, pus, or air in the pleural space makes it hard for the lung to expand and makes breathing difficult. A chest tube is a soft, flexible tube put into the pleural space that drains blood, air, or excess fluid.

Thoracentesis is a procedure that removes extra fluid from the pleural space. This space is between the outside surface of the lungs (pleura) and the chest wall.

The subclavian artery carries blood from your heart to your arms. If an aneurysm forms in this artery, it must be repaired before something serious occurs. This is done using open subclavian aneurysm repair.

During surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the weakened aortic wall is replaced with a hollow manmade tube (a graft).

Thoracotomy is surgery used to diagnose and treat certain lung problems.

After your surgery, breathing may be uncomfortable at first. Take things slowly, and rest when you get tired.
