Near-infrared dye marking for thoracoscopic resection of small-sized pulmonary nodules: comparison of percutaneous and bronchoscopic injection techniques
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for small-sized pulmonary nodules is challenging, and image-guided preoperative localisation is required. Near-infrared indocyanine green fluorescence is capable of deep tissue penetration and can be distinguished regardless of the background colour of the lung; thus, indocyanine green has great potential for use as a near-infra...
متن کاملPreoperative localization of small peripheral pulmonary nodules by percutaneous marking under computed tomography guidance.
The outcome of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous marking for the preoperative localization of small peripheral pulmonary nodules was analyzed retrospectively. This procedure, in which 21-gauge markers were placed near nodules under local anesthesia on the day of surgery, concerned the patients who received video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery as a primary operative technique. The stu...
متن کاملThoracoscopic detection of occult indeterminate pulmonary nodules using bronchoscopic pleural dye marking
BACKGROUND The annual incidence of a small indeterminate pulmonary nodule (IPN) on computed tomography (CT) scan remains high. While traditional paradigms exist, the integration of new technologies into these diagnostic and treatment algorithms can result in alternative, potentially more efficient methods of managing these findings. METHODS We report on an alternative diagnostic and therapeut...
متن کاملManagement of lung nodules newly found by virtual-assisted lung mapping: a case report
BACKGROUND Virtual-assisted lung mapping is a novel bronchoscopic lung marking technique that uses virtual images to perform multiple concurrent dye marking of barely palpable pulmonary tumors. Subsequent chest computed tomography is required to confirm the locations marked. We here report a patient in whom computed tomography after virtual-assisted lung mapping unexpectedly revealed additional...
متن کاملPneumonia occurring after injection of Lipiodol to localize pulmonary nodules before fluoroscopy-aided thoracoscopic resection
We report the case of a 33-year-old man with a testicular tumor and multiple lung metastases. After high orchiectomy, chemotherapy was administered. Subsequently, fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection was performed for pulmonary lesions that had decreased in size after the chemotherapy but had persisted. Because four pulmonary lesions were too small to detect by fluoroscopy during the op...
