Awake thoracoscopic bullaplasty [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Staple excision of emphysematous bullae through general anesthesia is the standard surgical treatment of bullous emphysema. We have developed a new surgical technique entailing thoracoscopic bullaplasty performed in fully awake patients through sole epidural anesthesia.This prospective nonrandomized trial included 35 patients undergoing awake ...

Community for thoracoscopic surgery [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Visualized Surgery, 2017
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a real game changer in thoracic surgery. Surgical environment for thoracic surgeon have become complicated more and more as the techniques and technology have been advanced. No single surgeon can stand alone in this rapid changing circumstance.

Pleural Calcified Tumor Misdiagnosed as Peripheral Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Analysis of Imaging Differential Points

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pleural calcified tumor. ABSTRACT Pleural calcified solitary fibrous tumor, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral lung nodules. Recognizing key imaging features such as broad‐based pleural attachment and coarse calcification can prevent misdiagnosis and avoid unnecessary lung resection, thereby preserving ...

Cervical Resection of a Suprapericardial Retrosternal Goiter Without Thoracotomy: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A cervical approach combined with thoracoscopic assistance and preoperative tracheal stenting offers a safe and minimally invasive alternative to sternotomy for managing retrosternal goiters extending to the pericardium with severe airway compression.

Can a Solitary Pulmonary Nodule With Positive PET Scan in a Heavy Smoker be Something Other Than Lung Cancer? A Case Report of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst and Literature Review

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in a heavy smoker patient is commonly considered a lung cancer. However, in endemic regions, differential diagnosis should include pulmonary hydatid cyst. We present a 65‐year‐old heavy smoker male with a 5 cm SPN. He had negative serology, and inconclusive PET‐CT. So, it mimicked malignancy.

Small vesicles, big potential: A review of innovative exosome delivery and molecular mechanisms in preclinical myocardial infarction models

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 486-504, March 2026.
This narrative review discusses animal models of exosome‐based myocardial infarction treatments. Emerging techniques aim to improve exosome stability, targeting, and bioavailability for MI treatment as drug delivery vehicles and regenerative mediators that promote myocardial regeneration. Abstract Exosomes have emerged as promising therapeutic carriers,

Comparison of Two Dye Marking Methods for Preoperative Localization of Pulmonary Nodules Guided by Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 5, March 2026.
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy‐guided preoperative localization using either indocyanine green or methylene blue enabled accurate and safe resection of pulmonary nodules. Compared with methylene blue, indocyanine green was associated with a shorter operative target time, suggesting improved workflow efficiency in this retrospective cohort ...

Semi‐Continuous Versus Continuous Suturing Techniques in Bronchial Anastomosis Following da Vinci Robotic‐Assisted Sleeve Lobectomy

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 3, February 2026.
Semi‐continuous suturing significantly reduces bronchial anastomosis time during robotic sleeve lobectomy compared to continuous suturing, without increasing complication rates, offering a safer and more efficient technical option for bronchial reconstruction.
