AI Article Synopsis
- Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) has emerged as a vital support system for patients with poor lung function during complicated surgeries.
- The case report details a successful instance of a patient being weaned off V-V ECMO after undergoing an inferior bilobectomy due to lung cancer.
- This highlights the effectiveness of V-V ECMO in managing respiratory challenges during major lung resections.
Article Abstract
In recent years, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) has allowed complex lung and airways resections in patients with a compromised perioperative respiratory function. In the following report, we present a case of successful weaning from V-V ECMO in a patient who underwent an inferior bilobectomy for lung cancer.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA), defined as a pathologic dilatation of the PA greater than 1.5-fold the normal diameter, is a rare complication of Behçet disease. It is due to a weakening of the vessel wall for a great vessels' vasculitis, often asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed on imaging studies.

Introduction: Clinical staging in lung cancer has implications for treatment planning and prognosis. We sought to determine the rate of inaccurate clinical stage (relative to pathologic), identify risk factors for inaccuracy, and evaluate the association of inaccuracy on survival. We hypothesized that inaccurate staging was associated with poor survival.

Background: The left upper lobe is one of the largest lobes in the lungs and is divided into two anatomical units: the upper division (segments 1+2 and segment 3) and lingula (segments 4 and 5). This anatomical classification is similar to that used for the right upper and middle lobes. Although bilobectomy is not recommended for right upper or middle lobe tumors close to the interlobar plane, lobectomy is often performed for tumors located close to the intersegmental plane in the left upper division.
