Three-Dimensional Holographic-Guided Robotic Lung Segmentectomy for Deep Pulmonary Nodules: Technique and Initial Results.

Diagnosis and treatment of nodules remain challenging issues. The aim of this article is to report the technique of real-time navigation using holographic reconstruction technology combined with a robot assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) platform for lung resection in patients with . The pre-surgery 3D planning was based on the chest CT scan.

[Aspergillus mediastinitis following post-immunotherapy lobectomy for oligometastatic lung].

The relationship between infectious disease and therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors remains unknown. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who responded remarkably well to immunotherapy and underwent upper right lobectomy. Three weeks after hospital discharge, she was readmitted for severe dyspnea due to mainstem bronchus compression by mediastinal mass.

Preclinical evaluation of Versius, an innovative device for use in robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

Objectives: The adoption of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) has helped to overcome some of the challenges associated with surgeons performing conventional video-assisted thoracic surgery. The Versius Surgical System (CMR Surgical, Cambridge, UK) has been developed iteratively in line with surgical team feedback to improve the surgeon's experience and patient outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess the use of the device in RATS in a preclinical setting and to fulfil Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-Term Follow Up-Devices stage 1 (Idea).

[Patient outcomes after lung resection. The impact of unplanned readmission].

Unplanned readmissions after lung cancer surgery impair normal postoperative recovery and are associated with increased postoperative mortality. The objective of this review was to compile a detailed and comprehensive dataset on unplanned readmissions after pulmonary resection so as to better understand the associated factors and how they may be attenuated. Based on the identified risk factors, prevention involves improved preoperative preparation of at-risk patients and preoperative discharge planning so as to help prevent unscheduled readmissions, which are predictive of a poorer prognosis.

An Unusual Presentation of Mycotic Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm due to Infection.

, a zoonotic infectious pathogen, is a rare cause of mycotic aneurysms in human hosts. A 76-year-old man was admitted at our emergency unit for a superinfection of his right limb. The patient was initially treated for a knee arthritis.

Severe arterial thrombosis associated with Covid-19 infection.

• Unlike venous thromboembolism, no data are available on arterial thrombosis in SARS-CoV2 infected patients. • We observed severe arterial thrombotic complications despite the use of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy. • We described five irreversible lower limb ischemia and two thoracic aortic free floating thrombi.

Long-term survival following lung surgery for cancer in high-risk patients after perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation.

Objectives: The benefits of a rehabilitation programme before lung surgical resection for cancer remain to be defined. The purpose of this observational study was to assess the efficacy of preoperative rehabilitation and postoperative rehabilitation on short- and long-term outcomes in patients who were at high operative risk.

Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2012, 20 consecutive non-operable patients (16 men and 4 women, mean age 66 years) with clinical N0 lung cancer were included.

Clinical and molecular characteristics of unicentric mediastinal Castleman disease.

Background: Unicentric mediastinal Castleman disease (CD) is a rare condition, poorly characterized due to the small number of cases and the absence of genomic study. We analyzed clinical, radiological, histological and genomic patterns associated with mediastinal CD in a substantial case series. We retrospectively reviewed cases of unicentric mediastinal CD managed in 2 French thoracic surgery departments between 1988 and 2012.

Quantitative computed tomography to predict postoperative FEV1 after lung cancer surgery.

Background: Predicted postoperative FEV1 (ppoFEV1) must be estimated preoperatively prior to surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We evaluated a lung volumetry approach based on chest computed tomography (CT).

Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a period of one year in eligible lung cancer patients to evaluate the difference between ppoFEV1 and the 3-month postoperative FEV1 (poFEV1).

Usefulness of a routine endoscopic assessment of laryngeal lesions after lung cancer surgery.

Background And Objective: Laryngeal pathology following lung cancer surgery is associated with post-operative morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of routine endoscopic assessment.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated vocal cord pathology using laryngeal endoscopy within 24 h post-surgery.

[Sleep apnea syndrome and abdominal aortic aneurysm: Study of the prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome in patients with aneurysm and research of association. Clinical study on 52 patients].

Objectives: Prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in Europe is between 4.1 % and 8.9 %.

[Is ultrasound guidance contributive to vascular access in endovascular therapy?].

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultrasound guidance (UG) to vascular puncture in endovascular therapy. Ultrasound guidance was evaluated by comparison with the rates of failures and complications of the traditional techniques of percutaneous vascular access.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed all the consecutive percutaneous revascularizations (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and/or stenting, treatment of aneurysms and vascular traumatisms) since the standardization of the systems of closing (extra- and endovascular).

[Leg ulcers occurring under tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (sunitinib, nilotinib)].

Background: Certain anticancer drugs are known to induce leg ulcers, mainly chemotherapy agents such as hydroxyurea. We report 2 cases of leg ulcers in cancer patients treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, sunitinib and nilotinib, and we discuss the role of these treatments in the pathogenesis of leg ulcers.

Patients And Methods: Case 1.

[Outpatient thoracic surgery: Evolution of the indications, current applications and limits].

The objectives of outpatient surgery are to reduce the risks connected to hospitalization, to improve postoperative recovery and to decrease the health costs. Few studies have been performed in the field of thoracic surgery and there remains great scope for progress in outpatient lung surgery. The purpose of this article is to present a revue of the current situation and the prospects for the development of out patient thoracic surgery.

[Outpatient thoracoscopic resection of lung nodules within a fast-track recovery program].

Introduction: The objectives of outpatient surgery are to reduce the risks related to the hospitalization, to improve the postoperative recovery and to optimize contact with family physicians. The objective of this work is to present the first unit of outpatient pulmonary surgery and to report the results of the resections of pulmonary nodules in outpatient surgery in the setting of early discharge.

Methods: The indications for the resection of nodules were discussed in a multidisciplinary thoracic oncology meeting.

[Propionibacterium granulosum bare-metal stent infection after drug-eluting balloon].

Introduction: Bare-metal stents are used to treat arterial stenotic lesions. Morbidity and mortality are less important compared with other techniques. Drug-eluting balloons are often used to treat stent stenosis.

[Acute finger ischemia: A retrospective study of 13 patients].

Background: Acute ischemia of the upper limbs is rare in comparison with ischemia of the lower limbs. The origins of this condition are varied.

Goals: We retrospectively analyzed cases of acute finger ischemia (Raynaud's phenomena was excluded) in a dermatology department between 2008 and 2013 in order to evaluate the etiology and management of this phenomenon.
