Left lower lobectomy and partial preservation of segmental arteries of left upper lobe: A strategy to avoid pneumonectomy in selected cases.

ABSTRACT: In this article we report two cases of left lower lobe lung cancer undergoing a surgical procedure that allowed the preservation of lung parenchyma and avoided pneumonectomy. The first case concerned a left lower lobe non-small cell lung cancer with extracapsular spread in a metastatic interlobar lymph node and the second a left lower lobe lung cancer with invasion of the pulmonary artery at the origin of lobar branches to the lower lobe. In both cases, a lung-sparing surgical treatment was preferred and a left lower lobectomy was performed with division of lingular arteries and the interlobar artery, preserving the remaining arterial branches to the upper lobe.

Both left upper lobectomy and left pneumonectomy are risk factors for postoperative stroke.

Project description:Retrospective studies have found that left upper lobectomy (LUL) may be a new risk factor for stroke, and the potential mechanism is pulmonary vein thrombosis, which more likely develops in the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) stump. The LSPV remaining after left pneumonectomy is similar to that remaining after LUL. However, the association between left pneumonectomy, LUL, and postoperative stroke remains unclear. Thus, we sought to analyze whether both LUL and left pneumonectomy are risk factors for postoperative stroke. We prospectively included consecutive patients who underwent resection between November 2016 and March 2018 at our institution with 6 months of follow-up. Baseline demographic and clinical data were taken. A logistic regression model was used to determine independent predictors of postoperative stroke. In our study, 756 patients who underwent an isolated pulmonary lobectomy procedure were screened; of these, 637 patients who completed the 6-month follow-up were included in the analysis. Multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for common risk factors showed that the LUL and left pneumonectomy were independent predictors of stroke (odds ratio, 18.12; 95% confidence interval, 2.12-155.24; P = 0.008). Moreover, diabetes mellitus also was a predictor of postoperative stroke. In conclusion, both LUL and left pneumonectomy are significant risk factors for postoperative stroke.

Left upper lobe double sleeve lobectomy with double barrel anastomosis for lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:IntroductionBronchoplasty is performed for both curability and preservation of the pulmonary function.Case presentationWe herein report the findings of a 65-year old female patient who was admitted to our hospital to undergo surgical treatment for lung cancer. We successfully performed left upper lobe double sleeve lobectomy and reconstructed the site through bronchoplasty with double barrel (B6 + basal bronchus) anastomosis using inner ligation in a given location.DiscussionThe postoperative course was uneventful, and full-dose adjuvant chemotherapy was performed. No stenosis or narrowing of the airways was recognized. Chest CT also showed a good expansion of the residual lung, and the pulmonary function was also reserved.ConclusionWe propose the use of inner ligation in double barrel bronchoplasty at a particular site.

A simplified model for determining the cutting plane during thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy of the right lower lobe.

Project description:BackgroundFew studies have examined the use of two-dimensional computed tomography (2D CT) and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction images to determine the intersegmental plane (ISP) for pulmonary segmentectomy, but a systematic approach and nomenclature are currently lacking. This current study used 3D reconstruction of CT imaging to analyze variations in the right lower lobe's pulmonary ISP and created a simplified model to determine the optimum cutting plane (CP) for clinical application for operative planning and use during thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy (APL).MethodsBetween January 2018 and October 2019, 325 patients with pulmonary lesions were identified who underwent thin-slice CT scans of the chest. The ISPs were identified by analyzing the 2D CT scans and 3D reconstruction images and the anatomical characteristics segmental boundary. The CP for the thoracoscopic procedure was then determined within the safe surgical margins, and a simplified CP model was created.ResultsThe boundary between adjacent lung segment A and segment B was be expressed as "ISP: Sa-Sb". The ISP was divided into venous ISP (VISP), arterial ISP (AISP), and bronchial ISP (BISP). The proposed model of the CP can be expressed as follows: CP (f) = (V/A/B) ISP (x) + (V/A/B) sub ISP (y) + (V/A/B) sub-sub ISP (z).ConclusionsThis report is a first attempt to provide a nomenclature for identifying the ISP, and create a simplified model for determining the CP for thoracoscopic partial lobectomy.

Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy with sequential clamping of segmental renal arteries for multiple ipsilateral renal tumors: initial outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundTo assess the technical feasibility and outcomes of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) with sequential segmental renal artery (SRA) clamping for multiple ipsilateral renal tumors (MIRTs).MethodsFrom April 2016 to February 2018, consecutive eleven cases successfully underwent RPN with sequential SRA clamping under the guidance of dual-source computed tomography (DSCT).ResultsTen cases had two lesions and two cases had three at the ipsilateral kidneys. The mean size and the mean R.E.N.A.L score for the dominant lesion of single case were 3.3 cm and 5.7, respectively. Twenty-two lesions (84.6%) had one target SRA and four (15.4%) had two target SRAs. Satisfactory ischemic areas were achieved by sequentially clamping two (81.8%) or three (18.2%) target SRAs with mean clamping time of 18.8 (15.0-27.0) min for single lesion, and the mean of total clamping time for single case was 37.5 (32.0-52.0) min. Only the complications of grade 1-2 were found and no positive surgical margin was discovered. The mean follow-up time was 5.4 months and no local recurrence or metastasis was found. The mean postoperative eGFR was 71.2 ml/minute/1.73m2 that was only an insignificant reduction (9.3%) compared with the preoperative baseline.ConclusionThis novel nephron-sparing technique, RPN with sequential SRA clamping, represents a good alternative for selected patients with MIRTs. With the guidance of DSCT and skilled robotic experience, this technique is feasible and can maximize renal function preservation. Large-scale multicenter clinical studies are still needed to further prove these initial outcomes.

FOXF1 transcription factor promotes lung regeneration after partial pneumonectomy.

Project description:FOXF1, a member of the forkhead box family of transcription factors, has been previously shown to be critical for lung development, homeostasis, and injury responses. However, the role of FOXF1 in lung regeneration is unknown. Herein, we performed partial pneumonectomy, a model of lung regeneration, in mice lacking one Foxf1 allele in endothelial cells (PDGFb-iCre/Foxf1 fl/+ mice). Endothelial cell proliferation was significantly reduced in regenerating lungs from mice deficient for endothelial Foxf1. Decreased endothelial proliferation was associated with delayed lung regeneration as shown by reduced respiratory volume in Foxf1-deficient lungs. FACS-sorted endothelial cells isolated from regenerating PDGFb-iCre/Foxf1 fl/+ and control lungs were used for RNAseq analysis to identify FOXF1 target genes. Foxf1 deficiency altered expression of numerous genes including those regulating extracellular matrix remodeling (Timp3, Adamts9) and cell cycle progression (Cdkn1a, Cdkn2b, Cenpj, Tubb4a), which are critical for lung regeneration. Deletion of Foxf1 increased Timp3 mRNA and protein, decreasing MMP14 activity in regenerating lungs. ChIPseq analysis for FOXF1 and histone methylation marks identified DNA regulatory regions within the Cd44, Cdkn1a, and Cdkn2b genes, indicating they are direct FOXF1 targets. Thus FOXF1 stimulates lung regeneration following partial pneumonectomy via direct transcriptional regulation of genes critical for extracellular matrix remodeling and cell cycle progression.

Imaging approaches for pulmonary vein isolation in patients after lobectomy or pneumonectomy: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients who underwent pneumonectomy, pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation may be complicated by the anatomical alterations caused by the surgical intervention. Pre- and peri-procedural imaging can visualize and guide the procedure to assure safety and procedural success.Case summaryThis case series describes different imaging and ablation strategies in three cases from three different ablation centres with the unusually challenging and complex anatomical conditions in patients following lobectomy or pneumonectomy.DiscussionPulmonary vein isolation in patients with previous pulmonary resection was feasible by both radiofrequency and cryocatheter ablation despite the anatomical alterations caused by the surgery. Pre- and peri-procedural imaging by cardiac computed tomography and transoesophageal echocardiography contributed to an increased understanding of the complex anatomical substrate.
