RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays ever smaller, sub-centimetre lung nodules are screened and diagnosed. For these, minimally invasive resection is strongly recommended both with diagnostic and therapeutic purpose. AIM: Despite many advantages of minimally invasive thoracic surgery, thorough palpation of the lung lobes and thus the localization of lung nodules are still limited. There are several options to solve this problem. From the possibilities we have chosen and tried wire- and isotope-guided lung nodule localization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 2017, at the Thoracic Surgery Department of the National Institute of Oncology we performed wire- and isotope-guided minimally invasive pulmonary nodule resection in five patients. The diameter of the lung nodules was between 0.5 and 1.2 cm. The age of the patients was between 44 and 65 years and none of them had severe comorbidities, which meant low risk for complications. RESULTS: We successfully performed the minimally invasive atypical resection in all cases. After the wire and isotope placement we found a 2-3 mm pneumothorax in one patient that did not need urgent drainage. In another patient we found that high amount of intraparenchymal bleeding surrounded the channel of the wire. During the operation, two wires were displaced when the lung collapsed, and in another case the mentioned bleeding got into the thoracic cavity and made it difficult to detect the nodule. In one case we resected the wire-guided lung tissue, but the isotope-guided lung nodule was below the resection line. CONCLUSION: Both techniques could help to localize the non-palpable lung nodules. Based on our initial experiences, the isotope-guided method provides more details to estimate the exact depth of the nodule from the visceral surface of the pleura and we can avoid the unpleasantness of wire displacement. On the other hand, the production of the isotope requires a more developed infrastructure and the exact timing of the operation after the isotope injection is more strict.

RESUMO

The first lung transplantation in Hungary was performed on 12th of December, 2015. It was a joint effort of the National Institute of Oncology and the Semmelweis University. Hereby we summarise the results and experiences from the first three years. Until August, 2018, 55 lung transplantations were performed in Hungary. This was a retrospective analysis. All patients were listed according to the recommendation of the Lung Transplantation Committee. All implanted lungs have been procured from brain dead donors. Postoperative treatment and rehabilitation of the patients were continued at the Semmelweis University. Between 12. 12. 2015 and 31. 07. 2018, our team performed 76 organ retrievals: out of 45 Hungarian offers, 23 came from Eurotransplant countries and 8 outside of the Eurotransplant region. From these donations, 54 double and 1 single side transplantations were successfully performed. The surgical approach was single side thoracotomy (n = 1), bilateral thoracotomy (n = 1) and in the majority of the cases clamshell incision (n = 53). For the intraoperative veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was used. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support had to be prolonged in 3 patients into the early postoperative period, two other recipients were bridged to transplant with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. In the same time period, one combined lung-kidney transplantation was also performed. The distribution of recipients according to the underlying disease was: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 28); idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n = 8); cystic fibrosis (n = 12); primary pulmonary hypertension (n = 2); hystiocytosis-X (n = 1); bronchiectasis (n = 2); lymphangioleiomyomatosis (n = 1); and re-transplantation following bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (n = 1), respectively. The mean age of recipients was 47.5 ± 15.18 years. The youngest recipient was 13 years old. We unfortunately lost 12 patients on our waiting list. The mean intensive care unit stay was 24.6 ± 18.18 days. Two patients were lost in the early postoperative phase. Tracheostomy was necessary in 13 cases due to the need of prolonged ventilation. 1-year survival of the recipients was 82.96% (until 31. 07. 2018). When looking at the first three years of the program, the case numbers elevated quickly throughout the years which is rather unique when compared to other centres in their starting period. Perioperative mortality and morbidity is comparable with high-volume lung transplantation centres. In the future we would like to increase the number of patients on the waiting list, thus increasing the total number of transplantations performed, and we are also planning to implement the use of the ex vivo lung perfusion system (EVLP) in our program.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The presence of a substernal goiter which compresses the adjacent structures is per se an indication for resection, mostly total thyreoidectomy should be performed either by a head and neck or general surgeon. In about 1-10% of the cases the goiter is located behind the sternum, and the removal requires different surgical technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Authors operated 182 patients between 2000-2014 with substernal goiter which all reached the level of the jugulum. The 182 cases were examined retrospectively. RESULTS: All the patients were symptomatic with choking and dyspnea. In 31 cases neck ultrasound were performed, in 7 cases neck MRI and in 138 cases neck-upper mediastinal CT scan were indicated to discover the real situation of the lobes. 15 patients had previous partial thyreoidectomy. Acervical approach was used in 175 cases, 7 patients required median sternotomy to complete the operation. Transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy occurred in 1 patient, permanent RLNP in 3. Nine lesions were malignant, 173 were benign. CONCLUSION: Choking and dyspnea are the most common symptoms of substernal goiter. CT scan is an important preoperative evaluation, while it helps not only to define the position of the thyroid lobes, but also put the right operating team together. Although most of the retrosternal goiters can be removed by a cervical approach, some of them need additional incisions. Hence, it is important to have a thoracic surgeon available. Reviewing the Hungarian literature the authors have not found any other study examining so many patients.

RESUMO

CASE REPORT: Invasive aspergillosis is a life threatening complication in immune-compromised patients causing lung tissue destruction. Aspergillus empyema requires aggressive multimodality treatment. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We present a case of Aspergillus empyema treated by thoracic and plastic surgery preserving the lung function in an 18 year-old male patient suffering dermatomyositis and treated with steroids for a long time. After open window thoracostomy (OWT) we used pedicled musculus latissimus dorsi (MLD) flap and mobilised the anterior serratus muscle to close the pleural cavity. CONCLUSION: The intrathoracic use of muscle flaps after OWT in case of chronic Aspergillus empyema can preserve the underlying lung tissue. Cooperation of thoracic and plastic surgeons - as in the cases presented - provides an excellent opportunity to treat successfully of otherwise hopeless patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) is a rare condition, which arises from the abdominal cavity and it may also involve the pleural cavity occasionally. Concomitant involvement of both cavities is rare. The disease is characterized by production of mucinous ascites, and a low-grade carcinoma deriving mostly from the appendix. Pleural seeding may be due to diaphragmatic perforation during surgical intervention, tumour progression, or persistent congenital malformation between the abdominal and pleural cavities. CASE REPORT: A 44 year-old female patient was treated with pleuropulmonary involvement of pseudomyxoma. Since both the lungs and pleura were involved, radical resection could not have been carried out, and cytoreduction with intraoperative chemotherapy was applied only. DISCUSSION: Pleural progression of pseudomyxoma is uncommon and carries a poor prognosis. Management is similar to abdominal PMP, which involves aggressive cytoreduction and local and/or systemic chemotherapy, if possible. CONCLUSION: PMP is a very uncommon disease with poor prognosis. Extra-abdominal manifestation is rare, too. However, early recognition of the condition may enhance treatment options.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The procedure of the ETS is carried out by two ports, a videothoracoscop and a diathermy instrument are introduced into the pleural cavity. After the identification of the sympathetic chain, the relevant ganglia are divided or excised. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 22 patient underwent bilateral video assisted thoracoscopic T2-T4 sympathectomy in a half-way sitting position for palmar and axillary hyperhydrosis between December 2008 and January 2011. RESULTS: 5 male and 17 female patients with a mean age of 39.9 years, (19-63) underwent the above procedure. The mean operation time was 36 minutes, (30-61 minutes). CONCLUSION: No postoperative complications were detected. The authors believe that two port VATS sympathectomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of hyperhydrosis even as one day surgical procedure.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Approximately 30% of malignant, primary bone tumors are chondrosarcomas, which occur on the anterior chest wall most frequently. Patients who are treated with adequate surgical intervention recover well, 10 years survival rate is 97%. Besides the aesthetic outcome, preservation of breathing and loading are crucial. METHODS: Authors present a case of a 44-year-old male patient who worked as a sport masseur operated on Grade II chondrosarcoma of the manubrium. Concerning the age of the patient, an immediate reconstruction was carried out. The involved part of the sternum was resected with wide margins. The reconstruction was performed with Dual Mesh covered by a pedicled left sided pectoral major muscle. As a unique technique, authors used the tendons of the semitendinous and gracilis muscles to fix both claviculas together to give the proper stability and function for the shoulder girdle. RESULT: After an uneventful postoperative period the patient had a fast recovery. CONCLUSION: There are no data in the literature for such a method of fixation of the anterior chest wall. The method is suggested by the authors.

RESUMO

Introduction. Thymoma is the most common tumour of the anterior mediastinum. Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery technique of thymoma resection is spreading world-wide, but the thoracoscopic method is still contentious in many ways. Authors evaluate the early and mid-term results of a 17 years period of VATS unilateral approach at 2 Hungarian thoracic surgical centers. Method. Depending on the anatomical situation of the thymoma, we performed thymectomy, or partial thymectomy (thymomectomy) for the Masaoka­Koga I­II­III stage thymoma from the right or left side through 2 or 3 intercostal ports. We managed the operations with ultrasonic dissector and electrocauter. By using international standards we evaluated perioperative morbidity, mid-term oncological results and clinical symptoms of myasthenia. Results. 23 of the 54 patients were man, 31 were woman, the average age was 58 (26­79) years, 23 of them had myasthenia. The conversion rate was 11,5% (7/61). The average operation time was 84 (39­150) minutes. The average hospitalisation time was 5.5 (3­19) days. The average size of the thymomas was 46 (18­90) mm. The histology resulted thymoma type A in 2 cases, AB in 19 cases, B1/2/3 in 11/11/1 cases, mixed B in 10 cases. The examination of the resection line was R0/1/2 in 42/11/1 cases. The Masaoka­Koga stages were: I (17), IIA (28), IIB (2), III (7). There was 25 thymomectomies, and 29 thymectomies. In seven cases there were extension of the operation to the pericardium (2), to the lung (2), to the phrenic nerve (6), and to innominate vein (1). The in-hospital mortality over 30 day was in 1 case (1.85%). The morbidity was 11/54 (20.4%). The average follow-up time was 62.56 (5­198) months. In the group with myasthenia the effectivity of the operation was 18/21 (85.7%), including complete remission of 5/21 (23.8%). Post-thymectomy myasthenia gravis developed in 2/31 cases (6.5%). The average 5 years survival was 100%, tumour-free 5 years survival was 96%. Conclusions. The higher proportion of the thymomectomy in the early results, higher conversion rate and lower R0 proportion might be in connection with the attitude of the surgeons, with the learning curve and with the limitations of the unilateral method. After a longer follow-up time late results may become more real and comparable. Instead of unilateral VATS technique we have changed to the subxyphoideal approach of VATS because of its better visualisation.

RESUMO

Tumors that are confined to specific areas of the airway (e.g. left main stem bronchus or the bronchus intermedius) can be removed with resections of the bronchus only and preservation of the parenchyma. During the period of January 2004 to February 2009 five patients underwent isolated bronchial resection for lung tumor with curative intent. In this study we analyzed the data of five men with a median age of 47.6 years (range 29­68 years). In four cases resection of the intermediate bronchus was performed, and in one case left main bronchus was removed. Intraoperative frozen section revealed negative bronchial resection margins in all cases. Four patients had carcinoid tumors, while one was diagnosed with chemodectoma. Minor postoperative complications were observed in two patients only. Isolated bronchial resection for lung tumor is associated with low morbidity and mortality. Lung sparing procedures are preferable in the above cases but sufficient experience and conditions are mandatory to achieve adequate results.

RESUMO

Rupture of the trachea is a rare complication of endotracheal intubation. The most common cause of the injury is the overinflation of the cuff. The authors present the case of a 45-year-old male in whom a 6 cm long trachea lesion was perceived during the operation due to a meso-hypopharyngeal tumor. Primary intervention resulted in successful reconstruction and full recovery. The case demonstrates the importance of prompt diagnosis and adequate therapy that helped in preventing an assumingly life-long complication or even death.

RESUMO

Results of 86 minimally invasive anterior chest wall reconstructions for pectus excavatum by the method of Nuss are evaluated retrospectively. Complications, possible ways of avoiding those and technical details of the operation are discussed. Nuss method is also evaluated in terms of suitability patients' age. Minimally invasive anterior chest wall reconstructions were performed in 86 patients in the last seven years. The average age was 21.4 years. There were no severe intra-operative complications. Four dislocations of the metal bar (12 and 53 days after chest reconstruction) were observed and treated by Nuss-technique. One metal bar had to be removed on the 13th postoperative day for local septic complication, and another one for significant sterile dislocation 14 months after the operation. One patient asked for removal of the metal bar because of pain. In one case bleeding from a small side-branch of the internal mammary artery was stopped by VATS technique, a small superficial lung injury was treated by thoracic drainage. Over 90 percent of patients were satisfied with the cosmetic results. Operating time and length of hospital stay gradually decreased throughout the years. Nuss technique can be performed safely in young adults for pectus excavatum with excellent long-term results. Less pain and shorter operating time of minimally invasive repair are the advantages of the procedure. Age above 30 years and previous open chest correction increases the risk for operation.

RESUMO

Introduction: Surgical technique of thymectomy performed for treatment of myasthenia gravis has considerably changed in the last almost 30 years. In addition to standard interventions ­ transsternal and transcervical thymectomy ­, video-assisted thoracoscopic interventions (VATS), later on robotic surgery came into general use. In our two institutions, we apply VATS thymectomy since 2011. Methods: There are several different surgical techniques for this purpose; we approached the mediastinum through the right thoracic cavity. We prepared initially 3, later on 2 perimammal ports for the access of the thymus; the patients were in supine position during surgery. We used an ultrasonic cutting device in all cases. In order to perform extended thymectomy, we removed the fatty tissue around the thymus and opened widely the left thoracic cavity, too. During patient enrollment, we preferred patients with normal or lower body weight. Results: During 8 years and 4 months, we operated on 92 patients using this method for myasthenia gravis without thymoma; there were 20 male and 72 female patients at the age of 33 years on average (19­75 years). Duration of surgery was 35­160 minutes, 82.3 minutes on average. The bulky fatty tissue around the thymus made the orientation and the complete removal more difficult in a few patients. We experienced vascular injury in 4 cases and injury of the contralateral lung in 3 cases. Conversion was necessary in 2 cases (1 sternotomy and 1 thoracotomy), there were no nerve injuries. Assisted ventilation was necessary in case of ten patients in the postoperative period for a few hours; all other patients were extubated on the operating table. There was no need for repeated intubation and tracheostomy; there was no respiratory insufficiency and perioperative mortality. Duration of ICU care was 1.1 days on the average (0­11 days), that of the total hospital care 4.8 days on average (3­15 days). Duration of thoracic drainage was 1.16 days on average (1­4 days). Two patients (2.41%) died within one and five years after surgery. During 12­108 months (48 months on average) follow-up of 81 patients, 21 patients (25.3%) suffering from myasthenia total recovery was observed, pharmacologic remission was achieved in 4 patients (5.3%), minimal manifestation remained in 23 patients (24.1%), while in 28 patients (33.73%) other improvement was observed. The status of 4 patients (4.82%) remained unchanged and that of 4 patients (5.3%) worsened. Conclusion: VATS thymectomy represents a completely new surgical method for surgeons having experience in transsternal surgical technique. Bulky mediastinal fatty tissue makes surgery very difficult. The perioperative period is advantageous for the patients and also the long term follow-up results are acceptable. It is questionable that the thymus can be completely removed with this method in all cases.

RESUMO

Introduction: Thymectomy became an important part of the treatment of myasthenia gravis, since Alfred Blalock reported about his first surgery 80 years ago. Despite of several different surgical techniques already accepted abroad, sternal approach was the almost exclusive exposure for thymectomy in Hungary till 2006. In this publication, we analyze the direct surgical consequences and complications of this method. Methods: At the Surgical Department of Budai MÁV Hospital, 1002 transsternal thymectomies were performed during 34 years on patients suffering from myasthenia gravis. Surgeries were performed for neurological indications, following careful medical investigations, involving specialists in neurology and internal medicine. In cases associated with thymoma, surgery was indicated for two reasons: removal of the thymus and the tumor at the same time. Neurological indications, patient preparation, perioperative treatment and surgical technique have considerably changed during these 34 years. We interpret the results according to the two eras based on the most frequently applied surgical techniques (simple and extended thymectomy); we publish the data separately of the patients with thymoma and those who underwent repeated surgery, focusing basically on breath-related complications. Results: The patients' age was 32 years on the average (8-73 years). Women/men ratio: 3.5:1. Myasthenia gravis was associated with thymoma in 12.7% of the patients. Repeated thymectomy was necessary in case of 11 patients; further two patients required repeated sternotomy after cardiac surgery. Respiratory failure occurred in 21,3% out of 525 myasthenic patients operated in the first 19-year-old era, emergency re-intubation and tracheostomy happened in 12,8% and in 11,2% as well. In the second 15-year-old period postoperative respiratory failure occurred in 12,7% with emergency re-intubation in 7,1% and tracheostomy only in 1,2% out of 338 myasthenic patients. Respiratory failure occurred in 19.1% out of 126 patients operated for thymoma; re-intubation was necessary in 12.8% of the cases and tracheostomy was performed in 20.6% of the patients. Respiratory failure occurred in 13 patients, who underwent repeated surgery (46.1%); the ratio of re-intubation was 15.4% and that of tracheostomies 46.1%. Serious surgical complications were infrequent also in the entire group of patients: 2 patients required repeated surgery due to sternal bleeding; one more patient underwent repeated surgery due to rupture of the drainage tube, 4 cases of mediastinitis in the first group, two cases of heart injury and one case of sternal disruption occurred in the second period. The overall mortality was 1.4%: 1.3% in the first period, 0.3% in the second period, 4% in the thymoma group and 7.7% after repeated surgeries. Conclusions: In a historical overview, the ratio of serious respiratory and airway complications and the mortality after transsternal thymectomies has considerably decreased, but the postoperative respiratory failure and the surgical risk of transsecting the sternum still pose a real risk.

RESUMO

Introduction: Most modern thoracic operations are performed with single-lung ventilation balancing between convenient surgical approach and adequate gas exchange. The technical limitations include difficult airways or insufficient parenchyma for the intraoperative single-lung ventilation. Earlier, cardiopulmonary bypass was the only solution, however, today the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is in the forefront. Aim: We retrospectively analysed our elective operations by use of venovenous ECMO to assess the indication, safety, perioperative morbidity and mortality. Patients and method: 12 patients were operated using venovenous (VV-) ECMO between 28 April 2014 and 30 April 2018 in the National Institute of Oncology. The main clinicopathological characteristics, data regarding the operation, the use of ECMO and survival were collected. Results: The mean age was 45 years, 2 patients had benign and 10 had malignant diseases. Extreme tracheal stricture was the indication for ECMO in 3 cases, while 4 patients had previous lung resection and lacked enough parenchyma for single-lung ventilation. 5 patients had both airway and parenchymal insufficiency. The average time of apnoea was 142 minutes without interruption in any of the cases. We did not experience any ECMO-related complication. We had no intraoperative death and 30-day mortality was 8.33%. Conclusion: In case of technical inoperability, when there is no airway or insufficient parenchyma for gas exchange, but pulmonary vascular bed is enough and there is no need for great-vessel resection, VV-ECMO can safely replace the complete gas exchange without further risk of bleeding. The use of VV-ECMO did not increase the perioperative morbidity and mortality. Previously inoperable patients can be operated with VV-ECMO. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(42): 1655-1662.

RESUMO

Introduction: Completion pneumonectomy (CP) means the removal of the entire residual lung tissue after previously performed lung resection. Mortality and morbidity of CP are higher when compared to those of standard pneumonectomy. In this article, we give an overview on indications and perioperative results of CP. Method: We analysed the perioperative results of CP performed during a period of 15 years in a retrospective manner, based on the patients' medical records, descriptions of surgeries and histological findings. We divided the indications into three groups: rescue surgery for complications in the early postoperative period (rescue: rCP), incomplete resection verified by histological results (pathological: pCP) and conventional surgeries performed in the late postoperative period (conventional: cCP). We classified the complications according to an international scale. Results: The overall surgery-related morbidity of 102 patients was 70.5% (minor: 36.27%, major: 34.23%), the mortality was 16.6%. There were no lethal complications during the surgical procedures. rCP: 24 patients (18 men, 6 women, 46-77 years, average 61.7 years). Intervals between operations: 10.87 days (0-32 days). Indications: necrosis or abscess formation (8 cases), bronchial fistula (5 cases), insufficient or blocked anastomosis (3 cases), massive haemoptysis (3 cases), intrathoracic bleeding (2 cases), non-expanding lung (3 cases). Overall morbidity: 79.19%. Nine patients died (37.5%). pCP: 7 patients (5 men, 2 women), 45-66 years (average: 56.3 years). Primary surgery: 6 lobectomies, 1 bilobectomy. Intervals between operations: 1-5 months (average: 2.84 months). Three patients did not develop complications, four had anaemia requiring blood transfusion, one empyema requiring fenestration, one died (14.28%) due to intrathoracic bleeding. There were no tumours in the removed lung tissues in cases of four patients. cCP: 71 patients (22 women, 44 men, 29-79 years (average: 60.3 years). Intervals between operations: 34 days - 40 years (average: 6.7 years). Histological findings of the previous surgeries: primary lung tumour (64 patients), metastases of tumours in other organs (1 patient), bronchiectasia (1 patient) and tuberculosis (5 patients). Indications of cCP: late bronchial fistula (2 patients), verified or suspected tumour (65 patients), other (4 patients). Histological findings with primary lung tumour in the patient's history: 32 new tumours, 15 local recurrences, 9 metastases, 2 metastases or recurrences, 7 non-malignant. Histological findings without malignancy in the patient's history: 3 new tumours, 1 tuberculosis and 2 chronic inflammations. Overall morbidity was 76.2%, mortality within 30 days or in the hospital 9.8%. Conclusions: Morbidity and mortality are the highest after rCP, but these patients usually do not have any other chance for healing. We have not performed repeat surgery for incomplete tumour resection in the last 10 years. Comparing our results to the international data, the morbidity after cCP is high, the mortality is similar.

RESUMO

Use of 3D planning and 3D printing is expanding in healthcare. One of the common applications is the creation of anatomical models for the surgical procedure from DICOM files. These patient-specific models are used for multiple purposes, including visualization of complex anatomical situations, simulation of surgical procedures, patient education and facilitating communication between the different disciplines during clinical case discussions. Cardiac and thoracic surgical applications of this technology development include the use of patient-specific 3D models for exploration of ventricle and aorta function and surgical procedural planning in oncology. The 3D virtual and printed models provide a new visualization perspective for the surgeons and more efficient communication between the different clinical disciplines. The 3D project was started at the Semmelweis University with the cooperation of the Thoracic Surgery Department of the National Institute of Oncology in 2018. The authors want to share their experiences in 3D designed medical tools. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(50): 1967-1975.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: After its initial difficulties were overcome, lung transplantation became an accepted and effective treatment for end-stage lung disease. Patients can take part in almost all kinds of sports after lung transplantation, including high-altitude mountaineering, which is an extreme sport even for healthy individuals. Several articles have been published about high-altitude tolerance of transplanted patients. However, this was the first high-altitude expedition that included only lung transplant patients. METHODS: The Vienna lung transplantation team organized an expedition in 2017 to conquer the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, which consisted of 10 lung transplanted patients and 24 accompanying medical personnel. The participants were tested before and several times during the hike to evaluate their general and cardiopulmonary status, the severity of altitude sickness, and radio-morphologic changes. The results of the lung transplanted patients were compared to the results of their healthy companions. RESULTS: The group started at 2360 meters and reached the 5895-meter-high summit of Mount Kilimanjaro after 6 days on June 18, 2017. Eight transplant patients and 24 escorting medical personnel reached the peak. This means that the success rate was 94%, which is significantly higher than the reported 85% for this route. The 2 transplant patients who did not make the summit turned back on the first and second day because they lacked the necessary fitness for the trip. We did not see a significant difference in the results regarding cardiopulmonary status or the severity of altitude sickness, although we observed mildly higher blood pressure and altitude sickness score results in the lung transplant group. CONCLUSION: Based on our experiences, we can state that a stable patient after lung transplantation who attains the necessary physical fitness can achieve similar or even better physical results than an average healthy individual.

RESUMO

In this article we summarize the results of the first 3 years after launching the Hungarian Lung Transplantation Program. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The first lung transplant in Hungary was carried out on December 12, 2015, with the collaboration of the National Institute of Oncology and the Semmelweis University. Up to December 31, 2018, a total of 62 lung transplants were performed. Data were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were listed for lung transplant after the indication was established by the National Lung Transplantation Committee. Donor lungs were procured from brain-dead donors only. RESULTS: Within this period our team was involved in 87 lung procurements, 61 of which resulted in bilateral lung transplant and 1 in single-sided transplant. The operative approach was unilateral thoracotomy (n = 1), bilateral thoracotomy (n = 1), or clamshell incision (n = 60) with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. The underlying disease of the recipients was obstructive lung disease (n = 30), lung fibrosis (n = 11), cystic fibrosis (n = 18), primary pulmonary hypertension (n = 2), histiocytosis-X syndrome (n = 1), bronchiectasis (n = 2), lymphangioleiomyomatosis (n = 1), and retransplant because of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (n = 1). The youngest patient was 13 years of age, while the oldest was 65 years. Three patients died in the early postoperative phase. One-year survival was 80%. DISCUSSION: The number of cases rises steadily in the Hungarian Lung Transplantation Program, which is exceptional compared with the start of other centrums. The incidence of complications and mortality is comparable with those of other experienced centers around the world. Our future goal is to broaden our waiting list, thus increasing the number of lung transplants carried out.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Lung transplantation is the only successful treatment option for patients experiencing end-stage lung disease. Results have improved significantly in the last decade; however, the number one limiting factor is still the shortage of donor lungs. Due to the discrepancy between available donor lungs and patients awaiting lung transplantation, many centers have reintroduced donation after cardiac death (DCD). According to their results, DCD and donation after brain death (DBD) are comparable in terms of survival and graft function. Currently in Hungary, donation is only allowed from DBD donors; however, due to the Eurotransplant agreement, non-heart-beating donation (NHBD) organs can be transplanted into Hungarian patients, and in some cases Hungarian transplant teams can also take part in NHBDs within the Eurotransplant region. The Hungarian experience. A Hungarian patient received a lung from a 15-year-old uncontrolled DCD in Vienna. The donor was reanimated for 54 minutes and after lung procurement the lungs were put on ex vivo lung perfusion and later successfully implanted into the Hungarian recipient. The recovery was very successful and the patient is still alive. The Hungarian Lung Transplantation Team was involved in a controlled Maastricht III donation in 2017. A 49-year-old female donor was reported from Ghent, Belgium. A multiorgan donation was carried out with 15 minutes of warm ischemic time in the case of the lungs. CONCLUSION: DCD is an effective, safe, and available method to increase the donor pool. In the case of controlled donations, the necessary protocols have already been prepared. Although DBD is working very successfully in Hungary, infrastructural developments, education of professionals, and social preparations are all needed to implement a DCD protocol in Hungary.

RESUMO

We have synthesized a novel series of N-substituted sarcosines, analogues of NFPS (N-[3-(biphenyl-4- yloxy)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]-N-methylglycine), as type-1 glycine transporter (GlyT-1) inhibitors. Several compounds incorporated a diazine ring inhibited recombinant hGlyT-1b expressed permanently in CHO cells and GlyT-1 in rat brain synaptosomal preparations. A structure-activity relationship for the newly synthesized compounds was obtained and discussed on the ground of their GlyT-1 inhibitory potencies. Replacement of the biphenyl-4-yloxy moiety in NFPS with a 5-pyridazinylphenoxy moiety (compounds 3, 4, 5, and 6) or a 2-phenyl-5- pyridazinyloxy moiety (compounds 10, 11, and 12) afforded compounds exhibiting potent inhibition on GlyT-1 activity. The GlyT-1 inhibitory properties of NFPS analogues, in which sarcosine was closed into a ring forming (methylamino)pyridazine-3-(2H)-one, were markedly reduced (compounds 13 and 14). The pyridazine-containing GlyT-1 inhibitors with in vitro GlyT-1 inhibitory potency also enhanced extracellular glycine concentrations in conscious rat striatum as was measured by microdialysis technique. In contrast to NFPS, sarcosine-based pyridazine containing GlyT-1 inhibitors failed to evoke compulsive running behavior whereas they inhibited phencyclidine- induced hypermotility in mice. It is believed that increase of extracellular concentrations of glycine by inhibition of its reuptake may probably influence positively glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type ionotropic receptors in the central nervous system. This may have importance in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders associated with hypofunctional NMDA receptor-mediated glutamatergic neurochemical transmission. Thus, impaired NMDA receptor functions have been shown to be involved in the development of the negative symptoms and the cognitive deficit of schizophrenia and the treatment of these symptoms is the possible clinical indication of GlyT-1 inhibitors including those containing pyridazine moiety.
