OBJECTIVES: Videothoracoscopic visualization and/or palpation of pulmonary nodules may be difficult due to their location, small size or limited solid component. The purpose of this study is to present our experience with computed tomography (CT)-guided preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules by percutaneous marking with radio-labelled iodine-125 seeds. METHODS: A total of 34 pulmonary nodules were marked under CT with the placement of 33 radio-labelled iodine-125 seeds in 32 consecutive patients. RESULTS: All patients underwent biportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and in no case was conversion to thoracotomy necessary. A total of 88.2% of the lung nodules were successfully resected. In the remaining 11.8%, migration of the seed to the pleural cavity occurred, although these nodules were still resected during VATS. Of all the patients with pneumothorax after the marking procedure, only one required chest tube placement (3.1%). No major postoperative complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative marking of pulmonary nodules with I-125 seeds under CT guidance is a feasible and safe technique that allows their intraoperative identification and resection.

Oesophageal stents allow endoscopic treatment of several oesophageal disorders. Although oesophageal stents are generally safe, early and late adverse events may occur. We present a previously unpublished complication consisting of a pulmonary vein pseudoaneurysm secondary to an oesophageal stent displacement.
