The investigators intend to compare the group using triple-cuffed endobronchial tube (VentiBroncTM Anchor) with the group using the conventional double-lumen endotracheal tube (Shiley®) in patients at high risk of malposition of the double-lumen endotracheal tube. The aim of this study is to determine if the use of VentiBroncTM Anchor increases the success rate of optimal double-lumen intubation to left main bronchus.

Success rate of endobronchial intubation
Success or failure of endobronchial intubation will be determined immediately after double-lumen tube intubation, with flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.
Time frame: Immediately after double-lumen tube intubation, with flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope
