2 Fig 1 Assessment of the degree of rotation of the heart, by measuring the angle (*) between a normally positioned interventricular septum (set at 0 degrees) and the position of the interventricular septum in the postpneumonectomy heart. Clockwise rotation results in a negative angle and counterclockwise rotation in a positive angle. (A = apex of left ventricle; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle.)

3 Fig 2 Four-chamber views of all patients after left-sided pneumonectomy. Below each separate figure, the angle of rotation is presented. Anatomical orientation of the separate figures is as follows: top = ventral; bottom = dorsal; right = left side of patient; left = right side of patient. (Star = left ventricular cavity; rhombus = right ventricular cavity.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Four-chamber views of all patients after right-sided pneumonectomy. Below each separate figure, the angle of rotation is presented. Anatomical orientation of the separate figures is as follows: top = ventral, bottom = dorsal, right = left side of patient, left = right side of patient. (Star = left ventricular cavity; rhombus = right ventricular cavity.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
