The main finding was that 3D-HD system significantly reduced the surgical time needed to complete the lobectomy. Thus, future integration of 3D-HD systems should improve thoracoscopic surgery, and enable more complex resections to be performed. It will also help advance the field of endoscopically assisted surgery.
Intra-arterial thrombolysis using a balloon catheter is an effective method in the treatment of acute peripheral arterial occlusions. In the case of occlusion caused by embolism, primarily in very elderly patients, it may reduce the risk of hemorrhage. A randomized study on high-risk patients is needed to confirm these initial results.
Perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation seems to allow surgical management of lung cancer by lung resection in first-line, non-eligible patients. The long-term survival of operated high-risk patients is encouraging despite the high complication rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
