“…In 1989, MATHISEN et al [13] reported encouraging results after performing solely mechanical debulking on intraluminal tumours with either the bevelled end of different sized calibre rigid tubes or with a large clamp. The procedure was, however, associated with major complications in 20% of patients, such as pneumothorax, haemoptysis and pneumonia [13].…”

“…The procedure was, however, associated with major complications in 20% of patients, such as pneumothorax, haemoptysis and pneumonia [13]. With the exception of very proximal and low haemorrhage risk tumours, we recommend combining mechanical debulking with a complementary "thermal" technique.…”

“…Stent implantation is indicated for the management of the extrinsic component of proximal stenoses and tracheo-oesophageal fistula [9,49,59], or as a supplement to treatment of intraluminal obstructions each time there is some degree of extrinsic component of bronchial wall destruction [13,15]. The SPOC (Role of a Silicone Prosthesis to Prevent Airway Obstruction Recurrence After Therapeutic Bronchoscopy in Lung Cancers) French prospective study was the first randomised trial designed to study the benefit of stent implantation after bronchoscopic removal of intraluminal tumours.…”

Integration of interventional bronchoscopy in the management of lung cancer

Tracheal or bronchial proximal stenoses occur as complications in 20-30% of lung cancers, resulting in a dramatic alteration in quality of life and poor prognosis. Bronchoscopic management of these obstructions is based on what are known as "thermal" techniques for intraluminal stenosis and/or placement of tracheal or bronchial prostheses for extrinsic compressions, leading to rapid symptom palliation in the vast majority of patients. This invasive treatment should only be used in cases of symptomatic obstructions and in the presence of viable bronchial tree and downstream parenchyma.This review aims to clarify 1) the available methods for assessing the characteristics of stenoses before treatment, 2) the various techniques available including their preferred indications, outcomes and complications, and 3) the integration of interventional bronchoscopy in the multidisciplinary management of proximal bronchial cancers and its synergistic effects with the other specific treatments (surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy). @ERSpublications Central airway obstruction is a severe complication of lung cancer that can be managed by interventional bronchoscopy http://ow.ly/OdAhF

The goal of palliative surgery, like that of palliative care in general, is to relieve symptoms and suffering due to a disease state, rather than curing the disease itself. Perhaps more so than other palliative interventions, patients and providers considering palliative surgery must carefully weigh the risks of the intervention with the intended benefit. The purpose of this article is to describe the variety of palliative operations performed by Thoracic surgeons as well as the indications and outcomes for these procedures.

“…Der Montgomery-T-Tube, welcher 1960 entwickel wurde, war der erste spezielle Atemweg-Stent. Jedoch konnte sich die Implantation trachealer Prothesen in den tiefen Atemwegen nicht durchsetzten bis Dumon im Jahre 1989 den ersten bronchoskopisch plazierbaren, sicher anzuwendenden und allgemein verfügbaren Silikon-Stent vorstellte [15]. In rascher Folge wurde dann von vielen Autoren, zum Teil an sehr kleinen Fallzahlen, über weitere Erfahrungen mit der Einlage von Metall-Endoprothesen berichtet, wie sie schon seit längerem in der Angiologie zur Anwendung kamen.…”
