Anterior Thoracoscopic Subcarinal Nodal Dissection: A Better Approach?
We have read with interest the paper by Baste and colleagues [1] describing an anterior technique to dissect subcarinal nodes after left-sided video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. The main points of their paper are the following: (1) complete nodal dissection is recommended even in early staged non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), to guarantee the most accurate staging; and (2) to b...
متن کاملThoracoscopic Thymectomy Using a Subxiphoid Approach for Anterior Mediastinal Tumors.
PURPOSE Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) techniques have been widely used for resection of mediastinal tumors. This study investigated the usefulness of the subxiphoid approach in thoracoscopic thymectomy. METHODS In all, 36 patients with anterior mediastinal tumor underwent thymectomy using the subxiphoid approach in two Japanese institutions. These patients were retrospectively review...
متن کاملExtrapleural Thoracoscopic Anterior Spinal Fusion: A Modified Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery Approach to the Pediatric Spine
Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has recently been developed as an alternative to thoracotomy for anterior spinal surgery. We report a case in which an extrapleural dissection was combined with VATS to further improve this approach.
متن کاملThymectomy and transpericardial nodal dissection
Neuroendocrine thymic tumors (NETTs) are rare neoplasms. Surgical resection of the tumor and the involved lymph node remains the treatment of choice. We describe the surgical technique adopted in a patient with preoperative diagnosis of thymic malignant tumor and subcarinal nodal involvement. Through a median sternotomy, an extended thymectomy was performed as a first step. Then, through the tr...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of AV nodal reentry: the anterior approach.
The ability to cure atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentry with radiofrequency catheter ablation with preservation of antegrade conduction represents a significant clinical advance. It also provides an opportunity to better understand the pathophysiology of this fascinating arrhythmia. Two techniques have been developed for ablation of AV nodal reentry. The first to be described used lesions made ...
