A video-assisted thoracic surgical lobectomy for a lung tumour with a rare anomalous pulmonary artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detailed knowledge of anomalies of the anatomical course of the pulmonary vessels is extremely important for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Inadvertent vascular ligation and dissection are catastrophic for patients undergoing lobectomy. We describe a case with a rare anomaly of the left pulmonary artery and highlight the importance of identifying the courses of pulmonary vessels for VATS lobectomy.

Initial experience of video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy with partial removal of the pulmonary artery.
A lobectomy with a resection of the pulmonary artery is less invasive than a pneumonectomy. However, it seems to be extremely difficult to perform this technique using video-assisted thoracic surgery with technical limitations because this technique is associated with an increased operative risk even in an open thoracotomy. Between April 2002 and December 2006, a curative video-assisted thoraci...
متن کاملPartial removal of the pulmonary artery in video-assisted thoracic surgery for non-small cell lung cancer
Lobectomy with partial removal of the pulmonary artery in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) currently remains a challenge for thoracic surgeons. We were interested in introducing pulmonary vessel blocking techniques in open thoracic surgery into video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) procedures. In this study, we reported a surgical technique simultaneously blocking the pulmonary artery an...
متن کاملSimple stapled division of aberrant artery during thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary sequestration.
Pulmonary sequestration is a rare developmental abnormality where pulmonary tissue lacks normal connections to the tracheobronchial tree, in addition to its having an anomalous systemic blood supply. Lobectomy via open thoracotomy has long been the procedure of choice for the resection of pulmonary sequestration. We present three cases of thoracoscopic lobectomies performed using video-assisted...
متن کاملSimultaneous video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery sleeve lobectomy and thymectomy.
Thymic carcinoid tumour associated with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma is very rare. We present a case of synchronous lung cancer and mediastinal tumour treated with simultaneous video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sleeve lobectomy and thymectomy. A 67-year old man presented with cough and bloody sputum. Chest computed tomography showed an anterior mediastinal mass with a right hilar...
متن کاملThoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer in a patient with a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection: a case report
BACKGROUND A partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital defect in which blood from the pulmonary vein is returned to the right atrium. Asymptomatic patients with a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with a small left-to-right shunt do not require surgical treatment. If such patients require a major lung resection, the surgical procedure could precipitate fetal...
