[Lung hyperinflation after single lung transplantation to treat emphysema].
Despite preventive measures, lung hyperinflation is a relatively common complication following single lung transplantation to treat pulmonary emphysema. The progressive compression of the graft can cause mediastinal shift and respiratory failure. In addition to therapeutic strategies such as independent ventilation, the treatment consists of the reduction of native lung volume by means of lobec...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery as an emergency and life-saving procedure.
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is emerging as a promising and unique therapeutic option for rigorously selected patients with severe debilitating emphysema. A 51 yr old man with generalized emphysema developed bilateral pneumothoraces during his first holiday abroad. Due to respiratory insufficiency, intubation and mechanical ventilation were necessary. In total, six chest tubes were inse...
متن کاملAssessment of pulmonary function after lobectomy for lung cancer--upper lobectomy might have the same effect as lung volume reduction surgery.
OBJECTIVE Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in well-selected patients with severe emphysema results in postoperative improvement in symptoms and pulmonary function. Experience with LVRS suggests that predicted postoperative FEV(1.0) may be underestimated after lobectomy in patients with lung cancer and emphysema. As most of the patients with lung cancer have more or less emphysematous change...
متن کاملLobar volume reduction surgery: a method of increasing the lung cancer resection rate in patients with emphysema.
BACKGROUND Guidelines on patient selection for lung cancer resection identify a predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppoFEV(1)) of <40% as a predictor of high risk. Experience with lung volume reduction surgery suggests that ppoFEV(1) may be underestimated in those with concomitant emphysema. METHODS Anatomical lobectomy was performed in 29 patients with a resectable ...
متن کاملLung function after bilateral lower lobe lung volume reduction surgery for alpha1-antitrypsin emphysema.
This study explores the mechanism(s) of airflow limitation following lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in patients with emphysema due to homozygous alpha1-antitrypsin (AT) deficiency. Bilateral targeted lower lobe stapled LVRS using video thoracoscopy was performed in six patients (five males) aged 61+/-9 yrs (mean+/-SD) with alpha1-AT emphysema. Two patients received only a 6-month follow-u...
