Prevention of intraoperative bleeding during thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy; an unnecessary occlusion of pulmonary artery and vein

Complicated hilar anatomy may be technically challenging for thoracic surgeons, especially during video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy. In such instances, to prevent hemorrhagic complications and conversion to open thoracotomy, several methods of proximal and distal vascular control have been p...

description Complicated hilar anatomy may be technically challenging for thoracic surgeons, especially during video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy. In such instances, to prevent hemorrhagic complications and conversion to open thoracotomy, several methods of proximal and distal vascular control have been proposed. Here, we present a technique of unnecessary occlusion of the main pulmonary artery and preserved pulmonary vein during a challenging thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy in patient with lung cancer and interlobar lymphadenopathy.
