This is a pilot study of a new use of Epoprostenol via inhalation (Epoprostenol is approved for intravenous use). The purpose of this study is to administered inhaled Epoprostenol and intravenous Phenylephrine to improve arterial oxygen tension during one-lung anesthesia either with volatile anesthesia (Sevoflurane) or with intravenous anesthesia (Propofol).

Increase of arterial oxygen tension in mmHg, during one-lung ventilation surgery, in response to combined nebulized epoprostenol/phenylephrine treatment
Timeframe: Changes measured during surgery, from start of treatment at 30 minutes after one-lung ventilation (T30) to end of the 30 minutes treatment (T60).
