ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the indications and surgical procedure of bronchial-pulmonary arterial sleeve resection for patients with centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),and to prevent complications. Methods From October 1987 to December 2004, 96 cases of central NSCLC were treated with bronchial-pulmonary arterial sleeve resection and reconstruction. The results were retrospectively analyzed. Results The complication rate was 19.8%(19/96), the mortality rate in 30-day postoperation was 3.1%(3/96), the overall 1, 3, 5 year survival rates were 82.6%(76/91), 57.8%(37/64) and 39.1%(18/46) respectively. Conclusion Bronchial-pulmonary arterial sleeve resection and reconstruction in the treatment of patients with central NSCLC can not only maximize preservation of functional pulmonary parenchyma and improve the quality of life, but also provide an opportunity for those patients with poor pulmonary function to receive surgical resection of the tumor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate preoperative bronchial atery infusion(PBAI) chemotherapy combined with surgery for patients with stage III A non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Seldinger procedure was used to insert the tube to bronchial artery branch which supplied blood to the tumor. The chemotherapeutic drugs were infused through the tube. After 1～3 courses of PBAI chemotherapy, the patients received operation. The patients receiving surgical treatment without PBAI chemotherapy at the corresponding period were chosen as control group. The radical resection rate and survival rate of the two groups were analyzsed. Results The response rate (CR+PR) of PBAI chemotherapy was 66.8%, and radical resection rate (90.3%) in PBAI chemotherapy group was significantly higher than that in control group(61.1%,P
