Purpose: A triple lumen iteration of the novel photo-angioplasty drug eluting balloon catheter (DEBc) Lumi-Solve may be compromised by guidewire shadow (GWS)-mediated attenuation of balloon surface drug activation. The current study aimed to design and evaluate a novel triple lumen prototype, designated Lumi-Solve-T, to circumvent these issues.
Methods: Effects of guidewire shadowing (GWS) on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation was evaluated using the MTT assay.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical value of rigid bronchoscopy combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer who underwent sleeve lobectomy.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 76 patients with early bronchogenic lung cancer admitted to our center from March 2016 to March 2017. Patients in the control group received conventional sleeve lobectomy ( = 38), while patients in the observation group underwent sleeve lobectomy by using rigid bronchoscopy combining fiberoptic bronchoscopy ( = 38).

Background: Primary tracheal or bronchial tumors are relatively uncommon, whether benign or malignant. Sleeve resection is an excellent surgical technique for most primary tracheal or bronchial tumors. However, depending on the size and location of the tumor, thoracoscopic wedge resection of trachea or bronchus can be performed with the assistance of a fiberoptic bronchoscope for some malignant and benign tumors.

Backgrounds: The aim of this study was to report our Institutional experience with extended sleeve lobectomy (ESL) in centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), focusing on technical details, post-operative results, recurrence and survival, to determine whether ESL can be accepted as a favorable alternative procedure to pneumonectomy (PN).
Methods: Twenty-two consecutive patients undergoing ESL for centrally located tumors from January 2014 to June 2019 were prospectively enrolled.
Results: Six (27.
