Article Synopsis
- Recent studies show that using stented cryopreserved aortic allografts for tracheobronchial replacement is effective, especially for patients with severe tracheal cancer.
- The study analyzed 13 patients with extensive tracheal cancer from a larger registry, focusing on their surgical outcomes and complications.
- Findings indicate that the procedure had no 30-day mortality, a high rate of complete resection, and 84.6% of patients were alive at the last follow-up, although some experienced late complications.
Article Synopsis
- The TRITON-01 study assessed the safety and efficacy of using stented aortic matrices for airway replacement in patients, confirming it can be a standard treatment option.
- Over a 12-year period, 35 patients underwent this procedure, showing a low 30-day mortality rate of 2.9% and a 22.9% morbidity rate.
- At a median follow-up of nearly 30 months, over 75% of patients survived, with no deaths linked to the bioprosthesis and 28.6% achieving stent-free survival.
Introduction: The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2), has spread rapidly to become a major global public health emergency since March 2020. Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) has been observed more frequently since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: All patients referred to our 24/7 Airway Diseases Center for laryngotracheal post-intubation/tracheostomy stenosis from May 2020 to May 2021were evaluated retrospectively.
Background: Surgical lung biopsy is essential in the diagnostic algorithm of interstitial lung disease (ILD) of unknown cause. Safety concerns have been recently reiterated. This study prospectively assessed the yield of diagnosis and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical lung biopsy (VATS-LB) for ILD diagnosis.

We report the case of a lung abscess due to Prevotella baroniae with a co-infection by Abiotrophia defective, which is a 'nutritionally variant streptococci' (NVS), in a 48-year-old patient. The delayed diagnosis of this co-infection led to multiple failures of medical treatment and need for surgery. Pathogenicity of these bacteria is well known, particularly in endocarditis, but not in lung infection.

Objective: To establish the feasibility of airway bioengineering using a technique based on the implantation of stented aortic matrices.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and factors that influence the long-term outcomes of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in 2 centers and reviewed 80 patients who underwent surgery between May 1984 and April 2011.
Results: Of the 80 patients (29 male; median age, 60 years [33 to 85 years]), 47 were symptomatic (59%).
Introduction: We investigate the safety and efficacy of video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM) used for diagnosis of the superior vena cava syndrome.
Methods: In a 7-year period, we have done 447 VAM for malignant causes. We have compared, in a retrospective study from a prospectively maintained database, the differences between the groups with (first group) or without (second group) superior vena cava syndrome in terms of operative time, preoperative and postoperative complications, and results of pathologic examination.
Purpose: Skeletal muscle metastases (SMM) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are rarely encountered in clinical practice. The prognosis and the adequate treatment are not known. The aim of the study was to report our experience and to make an extensive literature research concerning SMM.
