Abstract

Background: Intrapericardial pneumonectomy is a complex procedure indicated for large lung tumors where safe dissection of major vascular structures outside the pericardium is unfeasible or when the pericardium itself is invaded. Traditionally managed via open thoracotomy, recent advancements in VATS techniques now allow for intrapericardial pneumonectomy even in cases with extensive tumors or locally advanced disease. In this article, we detail the clinical outcomes and surgical considerations of six patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent VATS intrapericardial pneumonectomy. In this article, we detail the clinical outcomes and surgical considerations of six patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent VATS intrapericardial pneumonectomy.

Case presentation: This study analyzed data from 24 patients who underwent VATS pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer at two thoracic surgery centers in Turkey between January 2015 and March 2024. Among them, 6 patients underwent intrapericardial pneumonectomy; 5 had left pneumonectomy, and 1 had right pneumonectomy. All patients were male, with a mean age of 72.8 years, and a mean tumor size of 6.2 cm. Pericardial invasion was observed in 5 patients. Postoperative complications included respiratory failure and septic shock in one patient, leading to death. Long-term follow-up showed one additional death due to cancer progression; four patients are alive and under routine follow-up.

Conclusions: VATS intrapericardial pneumonectomy offers a viable alternative to traditional open surgery for patients with large or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, providing enhanced visualization, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery. Our multi-center experience with six patients demonstrates the procedure's feasibility and safety, even in challenging cases with pericardial invasion. Despite the complexity of the surgery, the use of advanced VATS techniques and careful intraoperative assessments can lead to successful outcomes. However, given the associated risks, especially with postoperative complications, further studies with larger cohorts are needed to validate these findings and refine surgical techniques.

VATS 心包腔内肺切除术病例系列:双中心经验。
背景:心包内全肺切除术是一项复杂的手术,适用于无法安全剥离心包外主要血管结构或心包本身受到侵犯的大肺肿瘤。传统上通过开胸手术治疗,最近VATS技术的进步现在允许心包内全肺切除术,甚至在大面积肿瘤或局部晚期疾病的情况下。在本文中,我们详细介绍了6例接受VATS心包内全肺切除术的非小细胞肺癌患者的临床结果和手术注意事项。在本文中,我们详细介绍了6例接受VATS心包内全肺切除术的非小细胞肺癌患者的临床结果和手术注意事项。病例介绍:本研究分析了2015年1月至2024年3月在土耳其两家胸外科中心接受VATS全肺切除术治疗非小细胞肺癌的24例患者的数据。其中行心包内全肺切除术6例;左侧全肺切除术5例,右侧全肺切除术1例。所有患者均为男性,平均年龄72.8岁,平均肿瘤大小6.2 cm。心包侵犯5例。术后并发症包括呼吸衰竭和脓毒性休克,导致1例患者死亡。长期随访显示,因癌症进展导致的死亡增加了一例;4例患者存活,正在接受常规随访。结论:VATS心包内全肺切除术为大或局部晚期非小细胞肺癌患者提供了传统开放手术的可行替代方案,可增强可视化,减少术后疼痛,更快恢复。我们在多中心治疗6例患者的经验证明了该手术的可行性和安全性,即使在有心包侵犯的挑战性病例中也是如此。尽管手术很复杂,但使用先进的VATS技术和仔细的术中评估可以获得成功的结果。然而,考虑到相关的风险,特别是术后并发症,需要进一步进行更大规模的研究来验证这些发现并改进手术技术。
