Long-term pulmonary function after thoracic sympathectomy

Abstract: We conclude that thoracic sympathectomy generates a mild, although significant, impairment of the bronchomotor tone, with no clinical consequences. These results suggest that the sympathetic nervous system is involved in pulmonary bronchomotor tone.

“…Cruz, et al13 observed a statistically significant decrease in forced expiratory flow,14 airway resistance in small airways, an increase in residual volume, and a significant decrease in heart rate and ejection fraction, even though the parameters were all in normal ranges. Nakamura, et al15 verified that HR and arterial blood pressure decreased at rest and during submaximal treadmill exercise after R2-R3 endoscopic transthoracic sympathotomy.…”

“…Si tratta di un effetto temporaneo, dovuto alla bronco-costrizione da denervazione simpatica, che può mantenersi per 3-6 mesi dopo l'intervento, poi la funzione polmonare tende a ritornare normale [83]. Nel recente studio di Ponce-Gonzalez, la capacità vitale e il FEV1 erano significativamente ridotti a 3 mesi, dopo 1 anno la capacità vitale era tornata normale mentre il FEV1 rimaneva basso; tutti i pazienti però si sono sempre mantenuti asintomatici [84].…”
