3 days later following bronchoscopy
At bronchoscopy, a mucus plug was cleared from the right middle lobe bronchus. The following day, an X-ray showed a clearing of the right middle lobe and a re-appearance of the right heart border.
The horizontal fissure is now visible as a thin line in a normal position, intersecting the 6th right rib at the lateral chest wall. There is little or no change in the position of the heart.
