Abstract:
BACKGROUNDTo summarize the surgical treatment for locally advanced lung cancer invading heart and great vessels.
METHODSOne hundred and eighteen cases of lung cancer accepting cardiovascular plasty operation from 1980 to 2001 were reviewed.
RESULTSThe operations included partial resection of left atrium in 38 cases, pulmonary artery resection and restruction in 48 cases, replacement or partial resection of superior vena cava in 25 cases, partial resection of pulmonary conus in 3 cases, and lober replantation in 4 cases respectively. There was no perioperative death, and the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10 year survival rate was 72.68%, 55.20%, 28.62% and 20.36% respectively.
CONCLUSIONSCardiovascular plasty in the surgical treatment of locally advanced lung cancer invading heart or great vessels can remarkably increase the long-term survival and improve the life quality of the patients.
