ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: We aimed to determine whether video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was associated with better short-term outcomes compared to open approach and to determine factors affecting long term survival after lobectomy in patients with history of head and neck carcinoma (HNC). METHODS: We performed a retrospective monocentric analysis of consecutive standard lobectomies performed for lung cancer in patients with history of HNC between 2010 and 2017. Patients' characteristics, surgical approach, lung tumor histology, in-hospital and 90-days morbi-mortality and long term survival were analyzed; VATS and open lobectomy groups were compared. RESULTS: Among 85 patients, 52 underwent an open lobectomy and 33 a VATS lobectomy. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age, preoperative characteristics, pathology and stage of lung cancer (All p = NS). In the VATS group, there was a significant decrease in proportion of in-hospital postoperative life-threatening complications requiring hospitalization in intensive care unit (12/52 vs. 1/33, p = 0.01). The 90-days postoperative comprehensive complication index was significantly increased in the open thoracotomy group (median (interquartile range):33.5 (0-53.5) vs. 8.7 (0-34.1), p = 0.018). Long term survival was not significantly different between the 2 groups - Log-rank test comparison, p = NS). Patients with squamous cell histology presented a significantly poorer survival (both Log-rank test comparison, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive approach improved in-hospital and 90-days outcomes compared to open surgery for lung cancer resection in patients with history of HNC. The poor long-term results in patients with squamous cell carcinoma highlight the need to improve therapeutic strategies for this subset of patients.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In case of acute thrombosis, lower limb bypasses can, in certain cases, be cleared by local intra-arterial fibrinolysis (LIF). The aim of this study is to evaluate the secondary patency of thrombosed bypasses after fibrinolysis. METHODS: This retrospective study includes all patients hospitalized for thrombosed bypasses of the lower limbs that were treated with in situ fibrinolysis using urokinase, between 2004 and 2013, in 2 French university hospital centers. Fibrinolysis was indicated in case of recent thrombosis (<3 weeks) provoking acute limb ischemia without sensory-motor deficit and in the absence of general contraindications. The secondary patency of the grafts was defined as the time after fibrinolysis without a new thrombotic event. RESULTS: There were 207 patients, hospitalized for recent thrombosis of 244 bypasses. The LIF was efficient in 74% of the cases (n = 180). Secondary patency of these bypasses was 54.2% and 32.4% overall, 68.3% and 50.3% for the suprainguinal bypasses, and 48.3% and 21.5% for the infrainguinal bypasses at 1 and 5 years, respectively. There is a significant difference (P = 0.002) regarding the permeability of the suprainguinal and infrainguinal bypasses. The survival rate was 75% (±6.4%) at 5 years and the limb salvage rate was 89% (±3.3%), 78.2% (±5.1%), and 75% (±5.8%) at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The only independent factor influencing the secondary patency of infrainguinal bypasses that was significant in a multivariate analysis was the infragenicular localization of the distal anastomosis (P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS: LIF is an effective approach that often allows the identification of the underlying cause, permitting elective adjunctive treatment of the underlying cause. Although LIF is at least as effective as its therapeutic alternatives described in the literature, the secondary patency of the bypasses remains modest and encourages close monitoring, particularly in patients with an infragenicular bypass.

ABSTRACT

Radiation-induced stenosis of the carotid artery is considered a challenging entity for direct revascularization. We performed a carotid artery stenting for a radiation-induced stenosis using a transapical approach on an asymptomatic 63-year-old male patient. Transapical approach, which is often used for cardiac surgery, was not yet described for the endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis. The transapical approach could be an attractive alternative path for patients presenting significant supra-aortic trunks lesions and unfit for direct approach or peripheral access. This case reports the feasibility and the safety of carotid artery stenting using the transapical approach in well-trained teams.
