The double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) was introduced by Carlens in 1949 and became widely used for single-lung ventilation. DLTs have since become standard for most pulmonary resections. Although the use of DLTs is routine and safe in experienced hands, it is not without risk.

Background: Malignant esophageal mediastinal fistula is a severe complication that occurs in both the advanced stages of esophageal cancer and after radiotherapy for esophageal cancer. Esophageal mediastinal fistula is very susceptible to complications such as mediastinitis and mediastinal abscess, resulting in a significantly elevated mortality rate for patients. We reported a rare case of esophageal mediastinal fistula after immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Sleeve lobectomy has solidified its position as a preferred alternative to pneumonectomy due to its significant advantage in preserving lung function, whereas right lower lobe sleeve lobectomy remains relatively uncommon because of the higher technical challenge. With the development of minimally invasive technology and experience acquired over the years, robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has shown progress and distinct advantages compared to the traditional thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach. Owing to its 3D vision, bendable wrist joints, and tremor filtration capabilities, this surgical technique exhibits great advantages in complex thoracic operations demanding for reconstructive procedures compared to traditional thoracoscopic surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • * Diagnostic imaging confirmed the mass as a plasma cell tumor, and after a successful endoscopic surgery to remove it, the patient showed significant improvement and was discharged quickly.
  • * The report emphasizes the need for thorough diagnostic processes for patients with obstructive bronchial masses and suggests that early detection and treatment of plasmacytoma can lead to better patient outcomes, highlighting the importance of regular follow-ups to prevent recurrence.

Article Synopsis
  • - Bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistula (BPF) is a rare blood vessel issue related to conditions like congenital heart disease and usually shows up in adulthood alongside hemoptysis (coughing up blood) as a symptom.
  • - Bronchial Dieulafoy disease (BDD) is another uncommon vascular anomaly involving an abnormal artery in the bronchial tree, often linked to chronic inflammation or injury.
  • - This report highlights a unique case where BPF and BDD occurred together in a patient with recurrent hemoptysis, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis through angiography and bronchoscopy to improve clinical understanding of these conditions.
