ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy between right visual double lumen tube (VDLT) intubation and right common double lumen tube (DLT) intubation in lung isolation technique. MethodsA total of 57 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with right DLT lung isolation technique in the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou City and West China Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were randomly divided into two groups: a DLT group (n=29, 16 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 54.3±13.2 years) and a VDLT group (n=28, 18 males and 10 females, with a mean age of 55.1±13.7 years) at 1 : 1 with random number table generated by the computer. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. ResultsCompared with the DLT group, the catheter positioning time in the VDLT group was statistically shorter (74.9±47.5 s vs. 151.6±88.9 s, P<0.001), the right upper lung occlusion rate (21.4% vs. 51.7%) and the intraoperative re-adjustment catheterization rate (14.3% vs. 48.3%) were lower (P<0.05). The quality of lung collapses immediately after thoracotomy (67.9% vs. 24.1%) and 20 minutes after thoracotomy (100.0% vs. 75.9%) were improved (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of fiberoptic bronchoscope assistance for positioning, or the incidence of pharynx pain and hoarseness between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with common DLT, VDLT is more efficient, accurate and intuitive in the location of right bronchial intubation.

Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical experiences and surgical treatment of pulmonary sequestration (PS) in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of PS. Methods Between August 1993 and February 2007, our department enrolled 21 PS patients, 8 male patients and 13 female patients, with the age ranging from 13 to 70 years old. The patients were examined by chest radiography, computerized tomography (CT), computerized tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), position emission tomographyCT(PET-CT) before the surgery. Sequestrectomy was performed on patients with extralobar sequestration (ELS) and lobectomy was performed on patients with intralobar sequestration (ILS). There were 10 cases of left lower lobectomy, 3 cases of right lower lobectomy, 4 cases of left sequestrectomy, 3 cases of right sequestrectomy and 1 case of total pneumonectomy. Results Postoperative pathology confirmed all cases of PS, including 7 cases of ELS and 14 cases of ILS. Seven patients were diagnosed to have PS by preoperative diagnostic procedures. During the surgery, we found aberrant supporting arteries from the general circulation in 18 cases among which 11 were supported by the thoracic aorta, 6 by the abdominal aorta and 1 by both the thoracic and abdominal aorta. The diameter of the aberrant artery was between 0.2 cm and 1.1 cm (mean 0.7 cm). Double ligation and transfixion were performed during the operation. In addition, we found venous drainage through the inferior pulmonary vein in 3 patients and double ligation was performed. No perioperative death or complications occurred. Followup was done till January 2009 on all the patients but one with a followup rate of 95.2% (20/21). The followup time ranged from 12 to 67 months. All patients survived well except that 1 died from liver metastasis 2 years after the operation because of lung cancer. Conclusion PS is rare and its symptoms are nonspecific, which can cause misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. The diagnosis of PS mainly depends on CT, CTA, MRI and selected arteriography. Once diagnosed, PS should be removed by surgery. During the surgery, aberrant vessels should be separated and treated with double ligation and transfixion. As for those big aberrant vessels, transfixion can be performed after vascular decompression.
【摘要】 目的 分析总结肺隔离症（PS）的临床诊断及治疗方法。 方法 回顾分析2000年2月-2009年10月确诊的27例PS患者临床特征、诊断方法及治疗手段。 结果 27例PS患者均经影像学和手术确诊，其中叶内型22例，叶外型5例，行左下肺切除17例，右下肺切除10例；全部手术切除。术后并发胸腔积液1例，肺不张2例，分别给予穿刺抽液、纤维支气管镜吸痰等积极治疗后痊愈，其余患者恢复较好，随访6~60个月无复发。 结论 PS手术前误诊率高，诊断方法主要为X线平片、CT及CT增强血管照影（CTA）检查。CTA可显示异常供血动脉，是诊断PS的首选检查方法。一经明确诊断应尽早给予治疗，治疗方案主要包括手术和螺圈栓塞。【Abstract】 Objective To summary the diagnosis and therapy of pulmonary sequestration. Methods Clinical symptoms, methods of diagnosis and treatments of 27 patients diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration from February 2002 to October 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Twenty-seven patients were all confirmed by imaging and surgery, and had undergone surgical excision. Twenty-two patients were with intralober pulmonary sequestrateon (IPS) and five were with extralober pulmonary sepuestration (EPS); 17 patients were treated by left lower lobectomy, and 10 patients required right lower lobectomy. After the surgery, there were one patient with pleural effusion and two patients with atelectasis who suffered from complications postoperatively, and they were healed by symptomatic treatment. The rest recovered well. There were no recurrence from six to 60 months follow-up. Conclusion Pulmonary sequestration may be misdiagnosed easily. The main methods for the examination include X-ray,CT and CTA. CTA can detect anomalous systemic artery,which should be the first choice in diagnosing of pulmonary sequestration. Surgery and coil embolization are the main treatments. Once being confirmed,pulmonary sequestration should be treated as soon as possible.
ObjectiveTo explore the safety and feasibility of uni-portal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for the treatment of bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS). MethodsThe clinical data of BPS patients with surgical resection in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from February 2010 to June 2021 were reviewed. The patients were divided into a VATS group and a thoracotomy group according to the operation method. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and postoperative complication rate were compared between the two groups. The VATS group was subdivided into a uni-portal VATS group and a multi-portal VATS group for subgroup analysis. ResultsFinally 131 patients were enrolled, including 62 males and 69 females with an average age of 39.3±13.2 years. There were 103 patients in the VATS group and 28 patients in the thoracotomy group. A total of 104 patients were diagnosed with left lower BPS, 26 with right lower BPS and 1 with bilateral lower BPS. The main symptom was cough (88 patients, 67.2%). There were 119 patients diagnosed by thoracic enhanced CT before operation. Compared with the thoracotomy group, the operation time was not statistically different (P=0.717), but the blood loss was less, the rate of postoperative complication was lower and hospital stay was shorter in the VATS group (P＜0.05). The rate of conversion to open surgery in the uni-portal VATS group and multi-portal VATS group was 11.8% and 13.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, patients in the uni-portal VATS group had shorter operation time and postoperative hospital stay, less blood loss and lower postoperative complication rate than those in the multi-portal VATS group (P＜0.05). Conclusion In order to improve the rate of diagnosis, the lung enhanced CT scan should be selected as an optimal noninvasive method in adult suspected patients (especially those with solid cystic and solid lesions in the lower lobe). Uni-portal VATS is a safe and feasible method for BPS which can be widely promoted.
