Outcomes Of Surgically Treated N2-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Rei, Joana; Castro, Patrícia; Guerra, Miguel; Miranda, JoséIntroduction: The role of surgery in the treatment of stage IIB/IIIA lung cancer is still a matter of debate. To assess the outcomes of N2-positive patients, we performed a retrospective 10-year study including all patients with histologically proven N2 disease submitted to lung resection surgery by the same surgical team in three different hospitals. Materials and Methods: Demographic, clinical, surgical and s...
Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block And Asystole After Lung Resection: A Rare C...
M. Castro, Patricia; Rei, Joana; Silva, Cátia; Miranda, José; Guerra, MiguelSurgical resection remains the optimal therapeutic option for early-stage operable NSCLC. Despite significant advances in recent years related to anesthetic and surgical techniques, cardiopulmonary complications remain major causes for postoperative morbimortality. In this paper we present a case of a patient who developed complete AV block followed by asystole after lung resection surgery. The patient un...
Spreading Through Air Spaces And Thinking About Lung Metastases
M. Castro, Patricia; Rei, Joana; Silva, Cátia; Miranda, José; Guerra, MiguelIntroduction: Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a novel pattern of invasion in primary lung cancers, which was introduced in the 2015 World Health Organization classification. Several studies have validated STAS to be a predictor of clinical outcome in lung adenocarcinoma. However, little is known about STAS as a mode of intraparenchymal diffusion of pulmonary metastases (PMs). Objectives: The aim of this stu...

VIDEO-ASSISTED THORACOSCOPIC SURGERY WITHOUT CHEST DRAIN PLACEMENT
M. Castro, Patrícia; Lareiro, Susana; Rei, Joana; Miranda, José; Neves, Fátima; Guerra, MiguelBackground: Placement of chest drain following thoracoscopic procedures has been the gold standard. Nevertheless, a drainless approach may be safe and feasible in selected patients and procedures. In this study we aim to report our clinical experience after drainless video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of all subjects submitted to drainless video-assisted thoracoscopi...

SAFETY AND RISK FACTORS FOR THE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY OF PNEUMONECTOMY: A RET...
Rei, Joana; Lareiro, Susana; Fernandes, Pedro; Castro, Patrícia; Costa, Sara S.; Miranda, José; Vouga, Luís; Guerra, MiguelObjectives: Pneumonectomy is a procedure with high post-operative morbidity and mortality. This study aims to assess and identify possible risk factors that can affect post-operative outcome, therefore determining the safety of pneumonectomy in specific groups. Methods: A total of 63 patients submitted to pneumonectomy at our centre, from February 2008 to February 2018, were included in our retrospective study....
