Pulmonary Vein Stump Thrombosis and Cerebral Infarction after Left Upper Lobectomy

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2023
Abstract Background Pulmonary vein stump thrombosis may occur after left upper lobectomy (LUL) and is a potential risk factor for cerebral infarction. However, there are few reports on the role of pulmonary vein stump thrombosis in the development of cerebral infarction.

Pulmonary vein stump thrombosis after lung resection for lung cancer: clinical features and outcome

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis, 2022
Pulmonary vein stump thrombosis (PVST) is uncommonly encountered postoperative in-situ thrombosis in the stump of pulmonary veins after lung resection. Data regarding the incidence and clinical behaviour of PVST are scarce. Thus, this study aims to investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics and outcome of PVST after ...

Pulmonary vein thrombosis after lobectomy with vein stump closure by ligation

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2018
Objectives Thrombosis in the pulmonary vein stump after a left upper lobectomy is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication, and the pulmonary vein stump length plays an important role here. We assessed the frequency and risk factors for thrombosis in patients undergoing lobectomy with division of the superior pulmonary vein using ligation ...

Thrombus formation at the stump of the pulmonary vein after lobectomy: a prospective multi-institutional study

Surgery Today, 2023
Recent reports suggest that postoperative cerebral infarction following lung cancer surgery is caused by thrombus formation at the stump of the pulmonary vein and that the risk is highest after left upper lobectomy (LUL). Thrombosis at the stump of the pulmonary vein and the incidence of cerebral infarction was investigated prospectively in patients ...

Ligating the pulmonary vein at the pericardial reflection is useful for preventing thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump after left upper lobectomy

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018
Thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump after left upper lobectomy is supposedly a risk factor for systemic thrombosis, resulting in a critical course for the patient. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the proximal ligation method preventing thrombus formation and thrombosis comparing the two groups of patients (those who ...

Pulmonary vein stump thrombosis and organ infarction after lung lobectomy

Journal of Anesthesia
Lung resection surgery, which is performed as a treatment for lung cancer and metastatic lung tumors, is currently conducted via minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and robot-assisted methods. Postoperative complications related to this surgery, such as pulmonary vein thrombosis and cerebral and other organ ...

Pulmonary vein stump thrombus: an early complication following upper division segmentectomy of the left lung

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
We report a rare case of a pulmonary vein stump thrombus detected by a contrast-enhanced computed tomography for transient syncope 2 days after upper division segmentectomy of the left lung for metastatic pulmonary tumor. The thrombus disappeared without embolic events after anticoagulation with intravenous heparin followed by oral warfarin ...

Pulmonary Embolus Originating From Renal Vein Stump Thrombus After Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomy: Case Report

Transplantation Proceedings, 2014
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an uncommon, life-threatening complication after living donor nephrectomy (LDN), and is considered among the most common causes for donor mortality. Most cases of postoperative PEs are thought to originate in deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities.A 56-year-old, healthy woman underwent laparoscopic left LDN ...

Formation of pulmonary vein stump thrombus after anatomical lung resection and anticoagulant therapy

World Journal of Surgery
AbstractObjectiveIt has recently been suggested that the formation of pulmonary vein stump thrombus (PVST) after anatomical lung resection is an underlying cause of arterial thromboembolism including cerebrovascular infarction. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of PVST and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ...
