Abstract
Using certain specialized endotracheal tubes designed to allow single-lung ventilation for certain thoracic surgical procedures may be fraught with technical difficulties owing to common anatomic anomalies. This case report describes a simple solution for an ill-fitting right double-lumen endotracheal tube using a balloon-tipped catheter.
