ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

A case series of VATS intrapericardial pneumonectomy: a bi-centric experience
Background Intrapericardial pneumonectomy is a complex procedure indicated for large lung tumors where safe dissection of major vascular structures outside the pericardium is unfeasible or when the pericardium itself is invaded. Traditionally managed via

Pneumonectomy due to bronchus carcinoma after pleural empyema [PDF]
Pneumonectomy is a lung resection that is associated with significantly higher operative mortality and morbidity than lobectomy. Beside classical causes of operative morbidity, such as respiratory and cardiovascular, the most important cause of ...

ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

Among 351 patients undergoing pneumonectomy, the mortality was 6%, and when the operation was performed for malignant disease, the mortality was 8.5%. Much of the risk of the operation is associated with the age, physiologic state, and associated diseases which are prevalent in patients who require pneumonectomy.

Hemodynamic changes after pneumonectomy in the exercising foxhound
Pulmonary arterial pressure is higher during exercise after pneumonectomy than before. Several factors may contribute to the elevation, e.g., loss of vascular bed, overinflation of the remaining lung, and active pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Acute Tension Pneumothorax Following Cardiac Herniation after Pneumonectomy [PDF]
A tension pneumothorax is one of the main causes of cardiac arrest in the initial postoperative period after thoracic surgery. Tension pneumothorax and cardiac herniation must be taken into account in hemodynamically unstable patients after pneumonectomy.

Three Ports One Lung: Videothoracoscopic Pneumonectomy for Lung Cancer
Pneumonectomy is a type of lung resection with high morbidity and mortality and is more commonly performed for the treatment of lung cancer. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of VATS pneumonectomy in the treatment of non ...

Single-Cell Transcriptional Profiling of Cells Derived From Regenerating Alveolar Ducts
Lung regeneration occurs in a variety of adult mammals after surgical removal of one lung (pneumonectomy). Previous studies of murine post-pneumonectomy lung growth have identified regenerative “hotspots” in subpleural alveolar ducts; however, the cell ...
