Comparison of changes in hemodynamics between unilateral and bilateral lung volume reduction for pulmonary emphysema.
This study was aimed to compare changes in hemodynamics between unilateral (UL) or simultaneous bilateral (BL) lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for chronic obstructive lung disease. Sixteen patients underwent LVRS by stapler resection with neodymium: yttrium-alminum-garnet (Nd: YAG) laser ablation; five underwent BL-LVRS (four by median sternotomy and one by thoracoscopy) and 11 underwent U...

Lung volume reduction surgery for emphysema. E.W. Russi, U. Stammberger, W. Weder. ©ERS Journals Ltd 1997. ABSTRACT: Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is performed to alleviate dyspnoea of selected patients with severe pulmonary emphysema and to improve their pulmonary function, performance in daily activity and quality of life. By resection of destroyed lung areas the achievable improvement...
متن کاملEffects of lung volume reduction surgery for emphysema on diaphragm dimensions and configuration.
Part of the functional benefit provided by lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) may be related to improvement in respiratory muscle function resulting from changes in diaphragm dimension and configuration. To study these changes, we obtained 3D reconstructions of the muscle using spiral computed tomography in 11 patients with severe emphysema before and 3 mo after surgery, and in 11 normal subj...
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...
متن کاملResults of Pulmonary Resection: Sarcoma and Germ Cell Tumors.
Pulmonary metastasis occurs in as many as 88% and 80% of stage IV patients with sarcoma and germ cell tumors, respectively. Pulmonary metastatectomy may be the only means of rendering a patient disease free. Sublobar resection (wedge or segmentectomy), lobectomy, and pneumonectomy achieve complete resection. Bilateral disease can be resected via staged thoracoscopy/thoracotomy, median sternotom...
