BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2015210694 DESCRIPTION A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnoea and subacute decline in lung function several years after undergoing a left lung transplant for pulmonary fibrosis. He had a history of left anastomotic stenosis that had been treated for some time with ...

A 66-yr-old female presented with dyspnoea on exercise, severe cough, purulent sputum and intermittent chest pain under both costal arches for the last 14 days. Five months prior to admission, pulmonary tuberculosis of both lower lobes had been diagnosed microscopically as the cause of recurrent bilateral pleural and pericardial effusions and pericardial thickening, and the patient was still un...

Radiol Bras. 2016 Jul/Ago;49(4):V Imaging studies of patients with tuberculosis have been the subject of a number of recent publications in Brazil radiology literature. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized as a major cause of lung infection in immunocompetent patients. Unlike Mycobacterium tuberculosis, that only humans are reservoirs, NTM are frequently isolated from e...

BACKGROUND Because left upper division resection is similar to right upper lobectomy, this procedure is frequently employed. Few studies have used the anatomic courses of veins evaluated on preoperative computed tomography (CT) imaging to determine what types of patients are at the highest risk for hemorrhagic pulmonary infarction. CASE We describe our experience with a patient in whom hemorr...

OBJECTIVES Nowadays, early-stage lung cancers are more frequently encountered. Selective lymph node (LN) dissection based on lobe-specific lymphatic pathway has been proposed. Our aim was to study nodal involvement according to tumour location. METHODS We reviewed 1779 lobectomized patients and analysed their pathological characteristics according to tumour location: Group 1 (G1), right upper...

BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) ablates emphysematous tissue through a localized inflammatory response followed by contractive fibrosis and tissue shrinkage leading to lung volume reduction that should not be influenced by collateral ventilation. OBJECTIVES To determine the correlation of clinical data from a trial of BTVA with fissure integrity visually assessed by com...
