Surgery for non-small cell lung cancer in patients with a history of cardiovascular surgery

Abstract: PurposeTo clarify if previous cardiovascular surgery (CVS) affects the postoperative outcome of surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsWe reviewed, retrospectively, the medical records of 36 patients with a history of CVS, who underwent lung cancer surgery at a single institution (study group; SG) and compared their characteristics and postoperative outcomes with those of patients without a history of CVS history (control group; CG), and also with those of patients with coexisting cardiovascular… Show more

“…Surgery for patients with lung cancer who have previously undergone thoracic aortic replacement is expected to be difficult due to the reopening of the chest and adhesions present between the blood vessel prosthesis and the lung parenchyma. To date, there have been no comprehensive reports on performing anatomical lung resection for left lung cancer in these patients [1]. In this article, we report our experience with five such cases and discuss the pitfalls of performing lobectomy in these patients and the necessary precautions that should be taken.…”
