Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic yield, learning curve and safety of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) in mediastinal staging patients with lung cancer.Methods: Mediastinal was performed EBUS-TBNA according to Danish national guidelines fulfilling one or more following criteria: (1) central tumour; (2) enlarged (>10 mm) lymph nodes on computed tomography; (3) positron emission tomography (PET)-positive nodes.The study period began January 2006 when...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fine-needle aspiration (EBUS-FNA) is a minimally invasive method used routinely for mediastinal staging of patients with lung cancer. We have it in 135 consecutive radiologically suspicious intrathoracic lesion that remained undiagnosed despite bronchoscopy and CT-guided (CT-FNA). There was no operative mortality or surgical complications. In 98 the parenchyma, adequate tissue obtained 83 (85%) 37 enlarged lymph nodes tumor 35 cases (95%)....
The Esophagectomy Complications Consensus Group (ECCG) and the Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit (DUCA) have set standards in reporting outcomes after oesophagectomy. Reporting from selected high-volume centres or centralized national cancer programmes may not, however, be reflective of true global prevalence complications. This study aimed to compare complication rates oesophagectomy these existing sources with those an unselected international cohort Oesophago-Gastric Anastomosis...
A 71-year-old female was referred with three right-sided intrathoracic tumours. In 2003, she underwent radical left nephrectomy for renal cell cancer (RCC) clinical stage 1. She since followed at her local hospital annual computed tomography (CT)-scans during the first five years and did not present any symptoms until October 2009 when admitted shortness of breath, cough tiredness. The patient scheduled a diagnostic thoracoscopy it discovered that lesions were located in lung parenchyma but...
Boerhaave's syndrome or spontaneous esophageal perforation is a rare condition, with high mortality. We describe case of presenting tension pneumothorax. The patient was infected Norovirus and developed syndrome, initially thought to be gastroenteritis but later developing pneumothorax, mediastinitis caused by perforation. treated thoracotomy primary suture oesophageal stent placement. He had long period recovery discharged after 98 days. Boerhaaves often delayed must considered in any...
Lesions in mediastinum can represent malignancy and warrants further workup. Commonly a diagnosis is achieved by conventional bronchoscopy, transbronchial needle aspiration or CT guided fine aspiration, however number of patients remain undiagnosed despite these common investigationsDuring period 36 months 601 underwent EBUS at our institution. Two hundred ninety three had an established lung cancer were referred to us for mediastinal staging. The remaining radiologically suspicious...
Aggressive intravenous thrombolysis of pulmonary emboli after major thoracic surgery has rarely been reported and is controversial because an assumed risk fatal bleeding. We report a 62-year old female who underwent left upper lobectomy. Her postoperative course was complicated with symptomatic embolism on day 5 she successfully treated using alteplase (Actilyse®) without signs She discharged from the hospital 12 days postoperatively.
The performance of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is reported with substantial variation, which may question its clinical usefulness. However, ENB hold true value when used as an additional minimal invasive diagnostic option before potential surgery in selected diagnostically challenging patients where traditional methods have failed. We evaluated the safety and adjunct tool Danish lung cancer pathway (DLCDP) ability to reduce surgical procedures.A retrospective study was...
Thymomas are the most common neoplasm in anterior mediastinum. Surgical resection of thymomas remains only curative treatment depending on stage disease. Conventional has been performed through open surgery. However, minimal invasive and robotic assisted surgery preferred if possible.In a single center study three different surgical techniques were compared respectively, video-assisted thoracic (VATS), robotic-assisted (RATS) resection. In period from 2006 to 2019 80 patients included data...
Pulmonary metastasectomy is considered an effective treatment in selected patients with extrapulmonary cancer and oligometastatic disease. We know that the presence of mediastinal lymph node metastases reduces survival significantly, but mediastinum rarely evaluated before these patients. prospectively how endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) could identify to nodes referred for pulmonary metastasectomy. All disease confined lungs on positron emission...
Background Decisions regarding tumor staging, operability, resectability, and treatment strategy in patients with esophageal cancer are made at multidisciplinary team (MDT) conferences. We aimed to assess interobserver agreement from four national MDT conferences whether this would have a clinical impact.Methods A total of 20 were included across all upper gastrointestinal (GI) centers. Fully anonymized patient data distributed among the which decided on TNM category, curability, blinded...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS) has been demonstrated to be a valuable minimally invasive procedure for mediastinal staging of patients with lung cancer, diagnosis intrathoracic lesions, unknown lymphadenopathy and re-staging the mediastinum following neoadjuvant chemotherapy NSCLC. The aim this minireview was focus on EBUS NSCLC further evaluation lesions that remain undiagnosed despite conventional diagnostic evaluation. In conclusion,...
A 59-year-old man with previous anaplastic large cell T-cell lymphoma stage 3A was admitted an isolated positron emission tomography(PET)-positive spot in a subcarinal lymph node. Diagnosis achieved endobronchial ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration demonstrating well-differentiated squamous carcinoma but no primary tumor visible on PET-computed tomography. Because of his the patient scheduled for mediastinoscopy where diagnosis confirmed. Subsequent gastroscopy normal and right-sided...
A patient with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a challenge to the clinician because most treatments increase risk for bleeding complications. Eighty percent of patients PE have identifiable predisposing factors, while idiopathic or unprovoked was about 20% in International Cooperative Pulmonary Embolism Registr y (ICOPER) (1). and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) share same where strongest setting-related factor major surgery (2) therefore, well-known feared complication following mortality up...

Postoperative observed air leakage does not always originate from parenchymal defects but may arise in the chest drainage unit, connections or reverse airflow water seals. We investigated such false using a new unit with built-in CO2-detector and an electronic unit.Two types of units were tested simple porcine model: A well-known integrated CO2-detector. created setup true leakage-a lesion, leakage-allowing to flow into thoracic cavity alongside drain.We demonstrated that can distinguish...
