Re-expansion pulmonary edema is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication that can occur after the rapid re-expansion of a collapsed lung due to pneumothorax or pleural effusion. It has a multifactorial pathogenesis, and risk factors for re-expansion pulmonary edema, such as chronic lung collapse, rapid re-expansion, and changes in pulmonary vascular permeability, have been identified. Clinical manifestations vary, ranging from almost asymptomatic to a rapidly fatal condition, and its incidence may be more common and less fatal than previously believed.

Neutrophil activation and clonal CAR-T re-expansion underpinning cytokine release syndrome during ciltacabtagene autoleucel therapy in multiple myeloma.

Nat Commun

January 2024

Shanghai Institute of Hematology, State Key Laboratory of Medical Genomics, National Research Center for Translational Medicine at Shanghai, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, 200025, China.

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is the most common complication of chimeric antigen receptor redirected T cells (CAR-T) therapy. CAR-T toxicity management has been greatly improved, but CRS remains a prime safety concern. Here we follow serum cytokine levels and circulating immune cell transcriptomes longitudinally in 26 relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients receiving the CAR-T product, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, to understand the immunological kinetics of CRS.

Unilobar re-expansion pulmonary oedema following removal of a large intra-thoracic mass.

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

January 2023

Institute of Chest Surgery, Chest Surgical Oncology, Minimally Invasive & Robotic Chest Surgery, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India.

Re-expansion pulmonary oedema (RPE) is not so rare complication associated with sudden expansion of a collapsed lung. RPE has been most frequently reported following rapid drainage of a large pneumothorax or chronic pleural effusion. Development of RPE following removal of a large intrathoracic mass is not commonly recognised, though sporadic reports exist in the literature.

Postoperative Intracranial Hypotension-Associated Venous Congestion after Spinal Surgery Managed with Multiple Blood Patches: Case Report.

J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg

January 2024

Unit of Neuroradiology, Service of Diagnostic and Intervention Radiology, Hôpital du Valais, Centre Hospitalier du Valais Romand (CHVR), Hôpital de Sion, Sion, Switzerland.

Background:  Postoperative intracranial hypotension-associated venous congestion (PIHV) is a rare event. The authors report the case of a patient presenting with PIHV after spinal surgery following the sudden loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) induced by suction drainage.

Methods:  A 69-year-old patient underwent uneventful revision surgery for wound dehiscence after lumbar surgery with placement of a subfascial suction drain.
