ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical experience and influence factors of airway complications after lung transplantation for end-stage lung diseases through reviewed 28 lung transplantation cases in our center.MethodsFrom August 2005 to December 2010,28 patients with end-stage lung diseases received lung transplantations consecutively in our center,in which 13 patients were bilateral-lung transplantation(BLT) and 15 patients were single-lung transplantation(SLT).The donor lungs were perfused with LPD solution antegrade and retrograde followed.During operation,the pulmonary artery pressure and flow rate were tested real time through the transesophageal echocardiography and Swans catheter.Postoperative care of patients was in respiratory intensive care unit,and immunosuppressive drugs were adjusted according to blood drug concentration.ResultsThere were no airway complications including anastomotic fistula or stenosis found in all patients.The mortality was 7.2％ in the early postoperative period ( 1-30 days).Cumulative survival rate was 94.1％ ％ at 1 year,76.2％ at 2 years,and 71.4％ at 3 years respectively.Four patients (14.3％) died in the postoperative 90 days.Three patients were reanastomosed pulmonary artery in operation because of stenosis detected by transesophageal echocardiography.After operation,three patients were reoperated,in which two were bleeding and one was pulmonary bulla and pneumothorax.All patients were followed from 1 year to 6.1 years after operation.The quality of life was improved significantly.ConclusionThe well improved technique of lung transplantation is helpful to reduce the operation related complications,decrease the early mortality post operation and play the important role in the effects of quality of life and long term survival rate.The intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography examination could detect the anomalous situation of vascular anastomosis.At the same time the patients should get benefits from the routine and close follow-up.

Objective: To investigate the current status of prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after thoracic surgery in China. Method: Chinese thoracic surgeons were investigated by the online questionnaire which was based on the Chinese version of International VTE questionnaire added with 6 extra questions with Chinese characteristics. Results: A total of 1 150 valid questionnaires were retrieved, accounting for about 20% of all the Chinese thoracic surgeons. The surgeons participating in this survey came from all over the country, most of whom were experienced professionals with high academic titles.For lung cancer patients, 66.96% (770/1 150) of the surgeons suggested that VTE prophylaxis should start 1 day after lung cancer resection, and 64.61% (743/1 150) of the surgeons suggested extending after discharge. For esophagestomy patients, and 48.35% (514/1 063) of the surgeons suggested that there was no need for patients to extend VTE prophylaxis after discharge. More than half of the surgeons participating in this survey made decision of the method and duration of VTE prophylaxis after lung cancer resection (53.91% (620/1 150)) or esophagectomy (52.49% (558/1 063)) depending on the clinical experience.Low molecular weight heparin was the common choice of most surgeons in VTE prophylaxis. More than half of the surgeons thought that previous history of VTE, advanced age, complicated with thrombophilia, obesity (body mass index>30 kg/m²), duration of surgery longer than 6 hours and family history of VTE were key risk factors of the occurrence of postoperative VTE. Conclusions The results of this survey are highly credible and are a good reflection of the current status of VTE prevention and treatment after thoracic surgery in China. This survey will play an important role in promoting VTE prevention and treatment in Chinese thoracic surgery department, it will also provide data support for government setting new policies, hospital construction of VTE prevention and control as well as raising physicians′ awareness.

Objective To observe the changes of thoracic drainage volume after lung transplantation,and to explore the influencing factors and their relationship with the prognosis of lung transplantation.Methods This retrospective analysis included 46 consecutive lung transplantations in our hospital between 2005 and 2016.The volume of postoperative chest drainage was recorded and analyzed.Single factor analysis of the factors that may affect the drainage was done.The patients were divided into different groups according to different prognosis at different time points after operation,and drainage volume was compared among groups.All analyses were performed with SPPS,version 19.0.Results There were no operative deaths.The median thoracic drainage time was 9.3 days,the median total thoracic drainage volume was 4318 mL,and the average daily drainage volume was 487 mL.During the perioperative period,the use of cardiopulmonary bypass or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation increased significantly the volume of unilateral pleural drainage (P＜0.05).The average daily drainage volume and the average daily unilateral pleural drainage volume in the postoperative dead patients were significantly greater than those of survivals at 1 st month,3rd month and 1 st year after lung transplantation (P＜0.05).At 3rd month after transplantation,the total amount of postoperative thoracic drainage was significantly greater than that of survivals (P＜ 0.05).The average daily unilateral pleural drainage volume in dead patients after surgery was significantly greater than that of the survival patients 3 years after operation (P＜0.05).Conclusion Intraoperative hemostasis in patients with lung transplantation should receive considerable attention,cardiopulmonary bypass and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation should be used cautiously during perioperative period,and greater postoperative chest drainage predicated poor short-term prognosis.

The risk of perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is pretty high in thoracic cancer patients. Perioperative VTE influences the recovery of patients after operation and quality of life in the future, even seriously leading to death. To strengthen the knowledge and attention of thoracic surgeons on perioperative VTE in thoracic cancer patients, China National Research Collaborative Group on VTE in Thoracic Surgery released the edition of VTE prophalaxis in thoracic cancer patients: Chinese experts consensus in 2018. This article is to interpret the diagnostic value and risk prediction value of D-dimer in VTE in detail, and briefly introduce the role of other biomarkers in VTE of tumor patients. The consensus interpretation aims to deepen the understanding of thoracic surgeons on the clinical significance of D-dimer in VTE.

Objective     To investigate the surgical procedure selection, operation technique and safety of anatomic sublobar resection for pulmonary nodules. Methods     The clinical data of 242 patients with clinical stage ⅠA lung cancer who underwent anatomic sublobar resection in our hospital between 2017 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 81 males and 161 females with a median age of 57.0 (50.0, 65.0) years. They were divided into 4 groups according to the surgical methods, including a segmentectomy group (n=148), a combined segmentectomy group (n=31), an enlarged segmentectomy group (n=43) and an anatomic wedge resection group (n=20). The preoperative CT data, operation related indexes and early postoperative outcomes of each group were summarized. Results     The median medical history of the patients was 4.0 months. The median maximum diameter of nodule on CT image was 1.1 cm, and the consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR) was ≤0.25 in 81.0% of the patients. A total of 240 patients were primary lung adenocarcinoma. The median operation time was 130.0 min, the median blood loss was 50.0 mL, the median chest drainage time was 3.0 d, and the hospitalization cost was (53.0±12.0) thousand yuan. The operation time of combined segmentectomy was longer than that of the segmentectomy group (P=0.001). The operation time (P=0.000), intraoperative blood loss (P=0.000), lymph nodes dissected (P=0.007) and cost of hospitalization (P=0.000) in the anatomic wedge resection group were shorter or less than those in the other three groups. There was no significant difference in the drainage time, total drainage volume, air leakage or postoperative hospital stay among the four groups (P>0.05). Conclusion     The combined application of segmentectomy and wedge resection technique provides a more flexible surgical option for the surgical treatment of early lung cancer with ground glass opacity as the main component.

Objective     To study the correlation of preoperative hemoglobin amount with venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgical treatment of bronchiectasis and the clinical significance. Methods     A retrospective study was performed on patients with bronchiectasis who underwent surgical treatment in our center from June 2017 to November 2021. The differences in blood parameters between the VTE patients and non-VTE patients were compared. The relationship between preoperative hemoglobin and VTE was confirmed by quartile grouping and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results     A total of 122 patients were enrolled, including 50 males and 72 females, with a mean age of 52.52±12.29 years. The overall incidence of VTE after bronchiectasis was 9.02% (11/122). Preoperative hemoglobin amount (OR=0.923, 95%CI 0.870-0.980, P=0.008) and D-dimer amount (OR=1.734, 95%CI 1.087-2.766, P=0.021) were independent influencing factors for VTE after bronchiectasis. The incidence of VTE after bronchiectasis decreased gradually with the increase of preoperative hemoglobin amount. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of postoperative D-dimer alone was 0.757, whereas the AUC of postoperative D-dimer combined with preoperative hemoglobin amount was 0.878. Conclusion     Low preoperative hemoglobin is an independent risk factor for postoperative VTE. Postoperative D-dimer combined with preoperative hemoglobin amount has a better predictive performance compared with postoperative D-dimer alone for postoperative VTE.
