Extrapleural pneumonectomy in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Standard treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has not been proved yet. However, it has been recognized that extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) is a treatment of choice for epithelial MPM when combined with adjuvant therapies though EPP may frequently cause fetal complications. We report 5 cases of MPM with EPP, including 1 with good prognosis. Sixteen patients with MPM were admitted...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2012;1(4):533 www.annalscts.com This video demonstration represents our first attempt at video-assisted thoracoscopic extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) for a 51-year-old patient with right-sided malignant pleural mesothelioma following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Video 1). While originating as an initial inspection for a possible radical decortication, it was apparent that th...
متن کاملExtrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decortication for malignant pleural mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is associated with a very poor prognosis. Unlike other solid tumors, any type of planned surgery for MPM would be cytoreductive rather than radical. There are two types of surgery for MPM. Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) involves en bloc resection of the lung, pleura, pericardium, and diaphragm. Pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) is a lung-sparing surgery that...
متن کاملExtension of liver tissue into the thorax following a right extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
A 56-year-old male underwent a right extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma. Two years after the operation, an intrathoracic mass was suspected of recurrence by imaging, however, biopsy revealed that the mass was actively proliferating liver tissues. We discussed this condition in terms of ectopic liver proliferation.
متن کاملIncidence of atrial fibrillation after extrapleural pneumonectomy vs. pleurectomy in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and pleurectomy are the surgical procedures for the treatment of pleural mesothelioma. However, EPP increases the risk for postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). We conducted a retrospective chart review of 130 patients who underwent EPP or pleurectomy. Seventy patients (excluding three patients with a prior history of AF) underwent EPP and 57 patients underwen...
