Aside from minimally invasive thoracic surgery and
video-assisted thoracic surgery, the Lung Center is also doing 'sleep studies' that identify airway problems which are background causes of heart attacks and strokes.
Traumatic lung herniation is a rare condition that may result from blunt force or as a complication of
video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
A growing number of reports have shown more advantages of
video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) than thoracotomy on clinical indicators.
We look forward to introducing this surgical stapler in a limited launch to key opinion leaders throughout the United States, including those surgeons performing
video-assisted thoracic surgery at the annual meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons in Phoenix, Ariz.
Recent widely accepted techniques such as CT-guided dye injection or coil placement could assist with localization of pulmonary nodules before wedge resection of small pulmonary nodules, guiding
video-assisted thoracic surgery and minimizing sacrifice of pulmonary tissue to achieve an adequate diagnostic yield for histopathologic assessment.
of human heartworm disease which is usually asymptomatic requires a lung biopsy by thoracotomy or
video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
These patients must be assessed for possible
video-assisted thoracic surgery with stapling of the blebs and abrasive or chemical pleurodesis; if patient is not a candidate for surgery, application of chemical pleurodesis must be done in an attempt to prevent a worst outcome.
Diagnostic biopsy was performed by
video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) on the patient whose fiber-optic bronchoscopy was normal.
