Objective: We developed a novel approach for localization and resection of lung nodules, using image-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (iVATS). We report our experience of translating iVATS into clinical care.
Methods: Methodology and workflow for iVATS developed as part of the Phase I/II trial were used to train surgeons, radiologists, anesthesiologists, and radiology technologists. Radiation dose, time from induction to incision, placement of T-bar to incision and incision to closure, hospital stay, and complication rates were recorded.
Results: Fifty patients underwent iVATS for resection of 54 nodules in a clinical hybrid operating room (OR) by six surgeons. Fifty-two (97%) nodules were successfully resected. Forty-two (84%) patients underwent wedge resection, four (7%) lobectomies, and two (4%) segmentectomy all with lymph node dissection. Median time from induction to incision was 89 minutes (range: 13-256 minutes); T-bar placement was 14 minutes (10-29 minutes); and incision to closure, 107 minutes (41-302 minutes). Average and total procedure radiation dose were: median = 6 mSieverts (range: 2.9-35 mSieverts). No deaths were reported and median length of stay was 3 days (range: 1-12 days).
Conclusions: Translation of iVATS into clinical practice has been initiated using a safe step-wise process, combining intraoperative C-arm computed tomography scanning and thoracoscopic surgery in a hybrid OR.

: Computed tomography (CT)-guided transbronchial metallic coil marking is useful for identifying the locations of small peripheral pulmonary lesions. Even deeply located lesions may be accurately identified and resected with adequate margins. This method is also applicable to multiple lesions.

Rationale And Objectives: Under-awareness of Interventional Radiology (IR) care by the public has been reported. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of educational videos to facilitate better patient understanding during the informed consent process.
Materials And Methods: Educational videos for six common IR procedures including chemoembolization, radioembolization, ablation, tunneled central venous catheter placement, port placement, and port removal were developed for educating patients in the pre-procedural setting.

Article Synopsis
- * A study compared early video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to a conventional treatment approach for patients with residual hemothorax, focusing on outcomes such as hospital stay length, tube removal rates, and complication occurrences.
- * Results showed that the early VATS group had shorter hospital stays, a higher rate of tube removal, and needed fewer additional interventions compared to the conventional group, although there was no significant difference in the duration of ventilator use.

Lung nodule localization using conventional image-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery involves lung puncture, which increases the risk of needle-related complications. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a single-stage non-invasive laser-guided stamping localization technique followed by resection under general anesthesia in a hybrid operating room. We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery for small pulmonary nodules using laser-guided dye-stamping localization methods in a hybrid operating room between June 2023 and October 2023.
