[The role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided transesophageal fine needle aspiration and immunocytochemistry assesment of the patients with suspected lung cancer and negative bronchoscopic biopsies].

Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound-(EUS) guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) allows the assessment of the posterior mediastinum, as well as the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer patients. The purpose of this feasibility study was to assess the importance of EUS-FNA combined with cytology and immunocytochemistry for patients with suspected lung cancer and negative bronchoscopic biopsies.

Material And Methods: Our study included 20 consecutive patients assessed at the Research Center of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Craiova, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova.

Right postpneumonectomy gained dextrocardia.

The negative pressure realized into the hemi thorax with lung pneumonectomy has consequences upon the mediastinum organ statics. This aspect results in expansion of the other lung. These changes are usual but limited in the adult lung pneumonectomy.
