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.

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.

Risk of vascular injury when screw drilling for tibial tuberosity transfer.

Purpose: During tibial tubercle transfer, popliteal vessels are at risk from drills and screws. The risk is around 0.11%, as described in the literature.

Complete thoracoscopic lobectomy for cancer: comparative study of three-dimensional high-definition with two-dimensional high-definition video systems †.

Objectives: Common video systems for video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) provide the surgeon a two-dimensional (2D) image. This study aimed to evaluate performances of a new three-dimensional high definition (3D-HD) system in comparison with a two-dimensional high definition (2D-HD) system when conducting a complete thoracoscopic lobectomy (CTL).

Methods: This multi-institutional comparative study trialled two video systems: 2D-HD and 3D-HD video systems used to conduct the same type of CTL.

Evaluation of balloon catheter-guided intra-arterial thrombolysis for acute peripheral arterial occlusion.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new method of in situ thrombolysis using a porous balloon with low pressure compared with traditional in situ infusion of a fibrinolytic agent in the treatment of acute limb ischemia.

Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2011, 14 patients (mean age, 67.2 years; range, 40-89 years) treated for grade II acute lower limb ischemia for fewer than 14 days were included in the study.

Acute peripheral arterial occlusion: prospective study evaluating intra-arterial thrombolysis with a micro-porous balloon catheter.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of a new in situ thrombolysis method using a low-pressure micro-porous balloon catheter (MPBC) compared to a traditional in situ infusion (ISI) of a fibrinolytic agent in the treatment of acute limb ischemia.

Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2011, 21 patients (14 men; mean age 64.6 years, range 40-92) treated for acute lower limb ischemia were prospectively enrolled in the study.
