Endoscopic Vein Harvesting – How Do We Do It?
Veiga Oliveira, Paulo; Madeira, Márcio; Alves, Inês; Ranchordás, Sara; Pedro Neves, JoséThe saphenous vein graft (SVG) remains the most used conduit as a second graft in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).1 Traditionally, surgeons harvest SVG with an open approach, making a long incision along the medial part of the leg or thigh. This procedure can potentially result in important complications, such as delayed wound healing, postoperative pain and infection.2 Thus, less invasive techniques for...
LUNG RESECTION FOR NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CANCER - A NEW RISK SCORE TO PREDICT MAJ...
Veiga Oliveira, Paulo; Cabral, Daniel; Antunes, Mariana; Torres, Carolina; Alvoeiro, Magda; Rodrigues, Cristina; Sousa-Uva, Miguel; Félix, FranciscoObjectives: Identify risk factors for major perioperative complications (MPC) after anatomical lung resection for NonSmall-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and establish a scoring system. Methods: Single center retrospective study of all consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC submitted to anatomical lung resection from 2015 to 2019 (N=564). Exclusion criteria: previous lung surgery, concomitant non-lung cancer relat...

Veiga Oliveira, Paulo; Madeira, Márcio; Ranchordás, Sara; Nolasco, Tiago; Marques, Marta; Sousa-Uva, Miguel; Abecasis, Miguel; Neves, José PedroAims: The aims of this study were to analyze early and late outcomes of TVS and identify predictors of short and long- term poor prognosis. Methods: Single centre retrospective study with 130 patients who underwent TVS between 2007 and 2020. Most of the patients were female (72.3%), mean age of 64.4 years; 61.1% were in New York Heart Association class III/IV, with a EuroSCORE II of 7.5%. Univariable and Multiv...

Veiga Oliveira, Paulo; Cabral, Daniel; Antunes, Mariana; Torres, Carolina; Alvoeiro, Magda; Rodrigues, Cristina; Sousa-Uva, Miguel; Félix, FranciscoObjectives: Compare the incidence of Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF) after anatomical lung resection for Non- Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) following open surgery versus VATS. Methods: Single center retrospective study of all consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC submitted to anatomical lung resection from 2015 to 2019 (N=564). Exclusion criteria: prior atrial fibrillation, previous lung surgery, c...
MORESTIN SYNDROME: BEYOND THORACIC TRAUMA
Watts Soares, Adriana; Veiga Oliveira, Paulo; Lopes, Beatriz; Albergaria, Diogo; Ourô, Susana; Maio, RuiMorestin syndrome (MS) is a rare clinical manifestation consequent to an acute compression trauma to the thorax. In such an event, the sudden elevated pressure that happens to the airway and the rapid and retrograde blood flow results in capillary rupture in the head and neck vessel territory. This case reports a car accident victim that was dragged by a truck down a road with closed thoracic trauma resulting i...
