We present our initial experience with BFT in such repairs at our centre. Three cases with diverse pathologies have been described where BFT was employed. The technique involves sequential clamping and reconstruction of each supra-aortic trunk (SAT) with continuous perfusion, facilitated by a custom-designed trifurcation graft and a dedicated pump head. Detailed patient profiles, echocardiographic findings, computed tomography (CT) scans and surgical procedures were outlined. BFT was successfully applied in all three, including two with root replacement, without perioperative complications. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPB) was 211 min, and mean aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time was 101 min. Patients were extubated on the 1st postoperative day with no neurodeficit. No instances of stroke, paresis or other complications were reported during the hospital stay (mean 7 days). Follow-up was uneventful. BFT shows promise in aortic arch replacement surgeries by avoiding unnecessary deep hypothermia, reducing CPB and ACC time. The overall time burden for surgery in arch repair is eliminated along with providing an excellent surgical field, enhancing the ease of operating and consequently resulting in excellent clinical outcomes.

Until recently, IML performed for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) located in the middle lobe of the lung was considered insufficient in oncologic surgery, and upper bilobectomy (Upper lobe + Middle lobe) or lower bilobectomy (Lower lobe + Middle lobe) was performed for isolated middle lobe tumors. Since postoperative morbidity and mortality rates are worse in bilobectomy compared to lobectomy, IMLs have become frequently performed. In this study, patients who underwent IML for NSCLC were compared with upper or lower lobectomies (ULL), and the oncologic results of patients who underwent IML were evaluated.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>In this study, 45 patients who underwent IML at our institution between 2012 and 2022 and 45 patients, who underwent right upper or lower lobectomy and were similar in terms of gender and age, were retrospectively analyzed.
