bronchial stump closure with amniotic membrane in animal model
background: coverage of the bronchial stumps (bss) with adjacent tissues can improve healing and reduce bronchial complications in complex thoracic surgery. there is no evidence for the application of human amnion allograft for prevention of air leak from the bs. the comparison of the amniotic membrane (am) and pleural patch for bs healing after lobectomy in dogs was our aim in this study. mate...
متن کاملVideo-mediastinoscopic resection of a long bronchial stump and reclosure of bronchial insufficiency after pneumonectomy.
Bronchial stump insufficiency after pneumonectomy is a severe problem and there is still debate about the appropriate method (transthoracic or transsternal) for reclosure. Access through a sterile operative field for a successful redo-procedure seems to be important so an alternative to the open methods could be the video-mediastinoscopy as it allows approaching the bronchial stump via the medi...
متن کاملCaveats in using vacuum-assisted closure for post-pneumonectomy empyema.
OBJECTIVES Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) of chronic empyemas can potentially set challenging patients free of prolonged hospitalization by warranting outpatient care. We wanted to test this concept in post-pneumonectomy empyema patients. METHODS Three patients with post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula were subjected to open window thoracostomy (OWT) and subsequently to VAC. The BPFs were...
متن کاملComparison of different bronchial closure techniques following pneumonectomy in dogs
The comparison of the histologic healing and bronchopleural fistula (BPF) complications encountered with three different BS closure techniques (manual suture, stapler and manual suture plus tissue flab) after pneumonectomy in dogs was investigated for a one-month period. The dogs were separated into two groups: group I (GI) (n = 9) and group II (GII) (n = 9). Right and left pneumonectomies were...
متن کامل[Percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer device].
We present a series of 4 patients in whom a ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed with an Amplatzer muscular VSD device during cardiac catheterization. In one patient with type I truncus arteriosus and subarterial VSD, closure of a wide apical defect was done to allow further surgical correction while avoiding left ventricular ventriculotomy. The second patient had congenitally corrected t...
