Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve and a nonconfluent left pulmonary artery is an uncommon combination usually associated with respiratory distress due to tracheobronchial compression by the aneurysmally dilated right pulmonary artery. Although application of the conventional technique is not feasible for this subset of patients, our novel "spiral plication" technique, wherein both the anterior and posterior walls of the dilated right pulmonary artery are resected in a spindle shape and plicated as if it is squeezed spirally, provides effective release of the obstructed airway concomitant with reconstruction of the left pulmonary artery confluence with growth potential.

Background: Lung cancer with interstitial pneumonia is known to be a refractory disease. We explored whether systemic inflammatory response markers are associated with outcomes in these patients.
Methods: The participants of this multicenter retrospective study, consisting of 17 medical institutions, were treatment-naïve patients with lung cancer combined with interstitial pneumonia who underwent surgical resection between 2012 and 2017.

A meniscus injury is a common cartilage disease of the knee joint. Despite the availability of various methods for the treatment of meniscal injuries, the poor regenerative capacity of the meniscus often necessitates resection, leading to the accelerated progression of osteoarthritis. Advances in tissue engineering have introduced meniscal tissue engineering as a potential treatment option.

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma has very poor prognosis, for which radical resection may be difficult. A 68-year-old man with pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma underwent bilateral pulmonary artery resection and replacement. At 31 months postoperatively, recurrence occurred at the anastomotic site of the right pulmonary artery.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of combined computed tomography (CT) and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for predicting histologic invasiveness of pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs).
Methods: The study analyzed 91 patients who underwent resection of pGGNs and examined the correlation of pathologic invasiveness with preoperative CT and FDG PET findings.
Results: Overall, 24, 36, and 31 patients had adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and invasive adenocarcinoma (IAD), respectively.
