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...

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 ...
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...
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 ...
ABERRANT PLEURAL PLAQUES
Cabral, Daniel; Torres, Carolina; Rodrigues, Cristina; Mendes, Samuel; Félix, FranciscoMale, 71 years old, active smoker. Referred to our outpatient clinic due to right upper lobe nodule with 4 year follow-up, which increased in size and metabolic uptake during the last year. CT scan also revealed multiple pleural plaques with a diffuse pattern. The patient underwent a right upper VATS lobectomy and mediastinal lymphadenectomy after intraoperative pathology consultation was positive for malignanc...
