RESUMO

Chylothorax is leakage of lymphatic fluid accumulating in the pleural cavity due to the thoracic duct's (TD) trauma or obstructions. It generally occurs as a traumatic complication after general thoracic surgery procedures (0.4%), especially after esophagectomy (4.7-8.6%). Traditionally, surgical intervention is performed if conservative management fails, but reports of high mortality (2.1%) and morbidity (38%) have led to the development of a minimally invasive percutaneous treatment method; TD embolization (TDE). The records of all patients treated for chylothorax with TDE from April 2015 to June 2019 were reviewed. Only patients with iatrogenic chylothorax were included. The outcomes measures are defined as a technical and a clinical success. A technical success, is defined as the ability to perform the embolization procedure, thereby injecting embolizing material Histoacryl with or without coils. A clinical success is defined as a complete cessation of lymphatic leakage into the pleural cavity without surgical intervention and, therefore, a cured patient. Lymphography was performed in all patients, and visualization of cisterna chyli was achieved in 14/17 patients (82.4%). Of the 17 patients included, 15 patients were successfully embolized and cured of chylothorax (88.2%). Successfully embolized patients had a median discharge time of 7 days. Most patients reported postprocedural pain, which was dealt with using conventional pain medication. TDE seems like a safe percutaneous treatment technique with a high clinical success rate in iatrogenic chylothorax patients which can be readily implemented if the clinical experience is available..

RESUMO

Locoregional recurrence of breast cancer continues to be a significant clinical issue involving extensive examination programmes, modified oncologic therapy and advanced surgery. The latter includes tumour resection followed by reconstruction of the thoracic wall. The type of reconstruction depends on tumour location, depth, aetiology and whether the resection involves the stabilising osseous structures as summarised in this review. The treatment strategy is planned at multidisciplinary team conferences with the presence of relevant specialists to ensure evidence-based treatment of consistent quality.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Perforation of the oesophagus into the thoracic cavity is a potentially life-threatening condition. The causes are numerous. Treatment for oesophageal perforation targets mediastinal and pleural contamination. Present knowledge about the causes of perforation and the types of treatment is poor. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective review was made between 1997 and 2005 based on extracts from the National Patient Registry. RESULTS: A total of 286 patients were diagnosed with perforation of the oesophagus (131 women and 155 men). Their average age was 60 years. A wide spectrum of causes was reported, e.g. instrumentation of the oesophagus 136 (47.6%), spontaneous rupture 89 (31.1%) or procedures otherwise related to surgical intervention 9 (3.1%). One third of the patients started conservative treatment 91 (31.9%). The majority of the patients were transferred to a thoracic surgery department for further treatment: about 25% of patients underwent surgery. The average hospitalization time was 18 days. The mortality rate was 21%. CONCLUSION: Oesophageal perforation remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and the condition requires aggressive treatment. Recent consensus in early treatment with thoracotomy, debridement, irrigation and subsequent parenteral nutrition has improved survival. In this material, most perforations were iatrogenic in nature. In the 2002-2005 period, the study showed that 29% of the iatrogenic perforations were caused by the use of a rigid endoscope which is risky and whose use should therefore be restricted. It is advisable to set up national guidelines for treatment of oesophageal perforation and to centralise treatment.

RESUMO

Isolated pulmonary atresia is an uncommon condition, which can go undiagnosed for a long time in asymptomatic patients. Sometimes, diagnosis can be made at pregnancy due to respiratory symptoms. There is no known increased risk of pneumothorax. We here present a case where a second-time pregnant woman with an unknown atresia of the right pulmonary artery received a left-sided pneumothorax. The diagnosis was initially missed in spite of adequate imaging and the condition progressed to respiratory stop. We describe the course of diagnostics and the chosen strategy of treatment.
