Hot Topic In Thoracic Surgery: Can Sublobar Anatomical Resections Be Non-Inferi...
Nawojowska, Agata; Mendes, Samuel; Cabral, Daniel; Gaspar, Marion Emma; Rodrigues, Cristina; Antunes, Mariana; Alvoeiro, Magda; Calado, TelmaBackground: Technological advances and widely spread screening programs enabled the discovery of ever smaller lesions. As such, in the last years, the tendency has shifted towards lung-sparing procedures. The role of limited surgical excision for small peripheral nodules is currently a topic of heated debate. Aim: In our work, we try to answer whether the segmentectomy could adequately treat the peripheral NSCL...
Successful Radical Resection Of Masaoka Iii Squamous Cell Thymic Carcinoma Inva...
Nawojowska, Ágata; Cabral, Daniel; Neves, José; Félix, FranciscoIntroduction: Complete radical resection is crucial for successfully treating thymic carcinomas. However, when the invasion of the great vessels or the heart in Masaoka III and IV stages occurs, the management poses more challenges. The R0 resection often requires neoadjuvant treatment. We present an example of a debatable case in which a treatment decision was guided by an imminent risk to the patient's life. ...
Oncological Outcomes Of Radical Surgery With And Without Induction And Adjuvant...
Nawojowska, Agata; Mendes, Samuel; Gaspar, Marion; Cabral, Daniel; Rodrigues, Cristina; Antunes, Mariana; Alvoeiro, Magda; Calado, TelmaIntroduction: Mesothelioma is a devastating, insidious disease with a long latency period. Its peak incidence occurs in the 5th and 6th decades of life, up to 40 years after asbestos exposure which is strongly related to the disease. The optimal treatment is the object of an intense discussion. Aims: The established outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS) and 1-year survival analyzed in the context of neoadju...

Results Of Minimally Invasive Vats Thymectomy In Miastenia Gravis Patients Comp...
Nawojowska, Agata; Mendes, Samuel; Cabral, Daniel; Rodrigues, Cristina; Antunes, Mariana; Alvoeiro, Magda; Torres, Carolina; Calado, TelmaIntroduction: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune, neurologic disease that causes a wide range of symptoms. While the transsternal, transcervical and thoracotomy approaches are accepted as effective, there is still debate regarding the VATS approach. Materials and Methods: We analyzed our center’s surgical experience with thymectomy for myasthenia gravis, comparing the results of patients operated on using ...
Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration
Cabral, Daniel; Silvestre, Carina; Cardoso, Teresa; Rodrigues, CristinaMale, 71 year-old, asymptomatic, former smoker and previous history of lung tuberculosis. Referred to outpatient clinic due to left lower lobe consolidation diagnosed on non-contrasted CT scan, with increased uptake on PET-CT. Then, a contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed extralobar pulmonary sequestration with venous drainage to the left azygos vein (Blue arrow) and a double branch arterial supply from the thorac...
Innovative 3d-Printed Prosthesis In A Rare Case Of A Huge Mass Of Anterior Thor...
Nawojowska, Ágata; Mendes, Samuel; Cabral, Daniel; Antunes, Mariana; Félix, FranciscoThe need for complete resection of chest wall tumors creates a huge challenge in terms of reconstructing the complex dynamics of the thorax. We are reporting a case of a low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) diagnosed in a young male, where the complete resection of the mass, sternum and parcially the pericardium was performed. Subsequently, a composite porous high-density polyethylene StarPore® prosthesis of t...
An Unusual Location for a Lymph Node
Nawojowska, Ágata; Cabral, Daniel; Mendes, Samuel; Antunes, Mariana; Félix, FranciscoWe report a case of a 67-years old non-smoking female diagnosed with hypertension when 24-years-old and complicated with chronic kidney and hypertensive heart diseases. On CT-Chest an incidental discovery of a lesion (16x14x23mm) adjacent to the abdominal aorta was made. Initially suspected to be paraganglioma, a hypothesis which the subsequent MRI did not exclude. Urine analysis showed normal Metanephrine with...

Rosário, Marisa; Fernandes, António Nicolau; Cabral, Daniel; Marques, Joana; Delgado, Inês; Hebe, Ana; Montalvão, Pedro; Magalhães, MiguelThere is a wide range of therapeutic approaches to laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS). In this study, all the patients that underwent LTS surgical correction in the ENT department of IPO Lisboa between 2000 and 2020 were identified. Variable studied included patient demographics, etiology of the laryngotracheal pathology, LTS location, previous procedures, type of procedure, post-surgical results and complications ...
LYMPH NODE UPSTAGING AFTER SURGERY IN PATIENTS WITH NEGATIVE MEDIASTINAL STAGIN...
Cabral, Daniel; Rodrigues, Cristina; Antunes, Mariana; Nawojowska, Agata; Calado, Telma; Torres, Carolina; Alvoeiro, Magda; Mendes, SamuelIntroduction: Mediastinal staging is a hot topic in thoracic oncology. According to the guidelines, and besides other criteria, in the presence of a primary lung cancer with increased mediastinal lymph node uptake on PET-CT, a negative result after lymph node sampling by Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is not enough to rule out mediastinal lymph node involve- ment, demanding a cervical mediastinoscopy to vouch ...
