The utility of simultaneous CT-guided localization for multiple pulmonary nodules using microcoil before video-assisted thoracic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of microcoil in simultaneous localization for multiple pulmonary nodules before video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).

Methods

Twenty-eight consecutive patients (26 two-nodule, 2 three-nodule; 58 nodules in total; Group A) underwent simultaneous CT-guided localization of multiple pulmonary nodules before VATS using microcoil. Successful targeting, localization, and VATS were defined as implantation of microcoil at the target site on CT image which was obtained immediately after the marking procedure, visualization of nodule location, and complete resection of the target nodule with adequate margin, respectively. Meanwhile, the clinical characteristics, localization procedure-related variables of the nodules and procedure-related complications in group A were also assessed and compared with those in a control group (221 single-localization procedures in 221 patients; Group B).

Results

Similar rates of successful targeting, localization and VATS were observed in group A and B (96.6% vs. 98.2%; 91.4% vs. 91.0%; 100% vs. 99.1%). Although the rate of overall complications (including localized pneumothorax and intrapulmonary hemorrhage) was a bit higher in group A than that in group B (32.8% vs. 30.8%, p?=?0.771), only minor complications were observed in the subjects of the two groups with no need for further treatment. In addition, the duration of simultaneous localization procedures was significantly longer than that of single localization (24?±?7.5 vs.13?±?6 min, p?ConclusionsCT-guided simultaneous microcoil localization for multiple pulmonary nodules before VATS was clinically feasible and safe with acceptable increase in the procedure time. Compared with localization for a single pulmonary nodule, simultaneous microcoil localizations for multiple nodules were prone to pneumothorax and hemorrhage. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization and new CT-guided medical glue combined with methylene blue (MGMB) localization before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) and to analyze the risk factors for complications after localization.MethodsA total of 620 patients, comprising 727 SPNs, admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between December 2019 and July 2022 were retrospectively studied and case-control analyzed. According to the localization method, 620 patients were divided into the hookwire group (n=310) and MGMB group (n=310). The localization time, localization-to-surgery interval, operative time, length of hospitalization, and complication rate were compared between the 2 groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of complications in each group of localization methods.ResultsCompared to the hookwire group, the MGMB group had a shorter localization time (8.59±3.69 vs. 7.35±2.99 min; P<0.001), shorter hospital stay (5.60±2.13 vs. 6.73±2.86 days; P<0.001), and shorter operative time (103.48±54.11 vs. 98.59±49.92 min; P=0.33). The preoperative localization success rate was 99.4% (355/357) and 100% (370/370) in the hookwire group and MGMB group, respectively. No death or serious complications occurred during the localization process, but the overall complication rate was lower in the MGMB group (69/310, 22.3%) than in the hookwire group (105/310, 33.9%) (P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, number of nodules, and localization time were risk factors for total complications, while localization technique was a protective factor for total complications [odds ratio =0.590; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.405-0.860; P<0.05].ConclusionsBoth techniques could effectively locate SPNs before VATS; however, MGMB localization was found to be associated with a lower complication rate, shorter localization time, better safety, and higher potential clinical value and is thus worthy of clinical promotion.

Project description:BackgroundPreoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization of small pulmonary nodules (SPNs) is the major approach for accurate intraoperative visualization in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). However, this interventional procedure has certain risks and may challenge to less experienced junior doctors. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robotic-assisted CT-guided preoperative pulmonary nodules localization with the modified hook-wire needles before VATS.MethodsA total of 599 patients with 654 SPNs who preoperatively accepted robotic-assisted CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary localization were respectively enrolled and compared to 90 patients with 94 SPNs who underwent the conventional CT-guided manual localization. The clinical and imaging data including patients' basic information, pulmonary nodule features, location procedure findings, and operation time were analyzed.ResultsThe localization success rate was 96.64% (632/654). The mean time required for marking was 22.85±10.27 min. Anchor of dislodgement occurred in 2 cases (0.31%). Localization-related complications included pneumothorax in 163 cases (27.21%), parenchymal hemorrhage in 222 cases (33.94%), pleural reaction in 3 cases (0.50%), and intercostal vascular hemorrhage in 5 cases (0.83%). Localization and VATS were performed within 24 hours. All devices were successfully retrieved in VATS. Histopathological examination revealed 166 (25.38%) benign nodules and 488 (74.62%) malignant nodules. For patients who received localizations, VATS spent a significantly shorter time, especially the segmentectomy group (93.61±35.72 vs. 167.50±40.70 min, P<0.001). The proportion of pneumothorax in the robotic-assisted group significantly decreased compared with the conventional manual group (27.21% vs. 43.33%, P=0.002).ConclusionsRobotic-assisted CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary nodules hook-wire localization could be effectively helpful for junior less experienced interventional physicians to master the procedure and potentially increase precision.
