[Role of bronchial resection-anastomosis in conservative surgery of lung cancer. Apropos of 34 cases].

We report our 20 year experience with bronchial sleeve resection for endobronchial neoplasms. Among 832 patients who underwent resection procedures, thirty-four underwent a bronchial sleeve resection (4.1%): 27 bronchogenic carcinomas out of 780 (3.

Atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the superior mesenteric artery: late results of reconstructive surgery.

Between 1975 and 1988, 103 patients underwent reconstruction of the superior mesenteric artery for atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Patients undergoing revascularization with associated mesenteric infarction were excluded. There were 89 men and 14 women whose mean age was 57.

[Revascularization of the inferior mesenteric artery through an endoaortic approach. A prospective series of 51 cases].

From January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1987, 170 subrenal abdominal aortic aneurysms were operated on using a technique involving systematic revascularisation of the inferior mesenteric artery each time this was possible. The electively chosen revascularisation method was endo-aortic reimplantation which was carried out on 51 occasions out of 53 revascularisations. The post-operative mortality was zero.

[Revascularization technics of the inferior mesenteric artery].

Recanalization of the inferior mesenteric artery is the only way to prevent with certainty the risk of post-operative ischaemia of the colon. Two different techniques can be used: either reimplantation by the intra-aortic route if the inferior mesenteric artery is healthy, or PTEF bypass rather than direct reimplantation in case of ostial or near-ostial stenosis. The feasibility of these procedures has been confirmed by angiographic controls.
