Remodeling of alveolar septa after murine pneumonectomy.
In most mammals, removing one lung (pneumonectomy) results in the compensatory growth of the remaining lung. In mice, stereological observations have demonstrated an increase in the number of mature alveoli; however, anatomic evidence of the early phases of alveolar growth has remained elusive. To identify changes in the lung microstructure associated with neoalveolarization, we used tissue his...
متن کاملAcute “Pseudoischemic” ECG Abnormalities after Right Pneumonectomy
New onset of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities can occur after lung surgery due to the changes in the position of structures and organs in the chest cavity. The most common heart rhythm disorder is atrial fibrillation. So-called "pseudoischemic" ECG changes that mimic classic ECG signs of acute myocardial ischemia are also often noticed. We report the case of a 68-year-old male, with no ...
متن کاملCardiac Herniation with Torsion after Right Pneumonectomy
For preoperative screening, a positron emission tomography/ computed tomography was performed. Subsequently, she was suspected to be rather in stage N2. Consequently, she underwent transpericardial pneumonectomy. After an uneventful surgery, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for postoperative monitoring. She was hemodynamically stable and had already been extubated in the o...
متن کاملUnexpected postoperative course after right pneumonectomy.
(CHEST 2000; 117:1184–1185) A 58-year-old male patient with noncomplicated alcoholic liver disease presented with a right upper parahilar pulmonary mass after minor blunt chest trauma. After an appropriate workup, nonsmall cell carcinoma of the lung was diagnosed. A right intrapericardial pneumonectomy was performed. A silastic chest drain with no negative pressure was left connected to a compe...
متن کاملRetinoic acid induces nonuniform alveolar septal growth after right pneumonectomy.
To determine whether all-trans retinoic acid (RA) enhances compensatory lung growth in fully mature animals, adult male dogs (n = 4) received 2 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) po RA 4 days/wk beginning the day after right pneumonectomy (R-PNX, 55-58% resection). Litter-matched male R-PNX controls (n = 4) received placebo. After 4 mo, the remaining lung was fixed by tracheal instillation of fixatives at a...
