Fetal laser ablation of feeding artery of cystic lung lesions with systemic arterial blood supply

Abstract: In fetuses with large hybrid lung lesions at risk of perinatal death, FLAFA is feasible and could improve survival and decrease the need for postnatal surgery. Copyright © 2016 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

“…These data support the notion that fetal coagulation of the aberrant feeding artery may induce not only an arrest but also a progressive regression on the lung mass growth throughout pregnancy. These results are in line with previous clinical reports after laser therapy for either solid [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] or cystic [12] lung lesions with systemic arterial blood supply. However, even though a significant proportion of cases have not required neonatal surgery, all cases have shown a small residual lung mass in the neonatal period; therefore, it remains unclear whether the involution of such an avascular lung mass progresses during childhood or not, and whether such a mass represents a substantial risk of infant morbidity.…”

“…168 There, the laser fiber was advanced through the needle to achieve contact with the feeding artery, and then it was coagulated using a Diode laser with a 600-nm fiber at power settings of 25 W for 5-10 s. If the power Doppler demonstrated residual flow into the lung mass, coagulation was repeated until complete cessation of blood flow. As we have previously reported [12], during the setup for the procedure, the laser fiber was passed through the needle to expose the desired amount of fiber and was fixed with a Y-connector so that only a known amount of fiber (2 mm) was advanced during the procedure. Prior to needle removal, the fetal hydrothorax was drained.…”

“…Основным методом хирургического лечения данной патологии, описанным в литературе, является мини-инвазивная лазерная абляция питающей артерии, что позволяет добиться самопроизвольного рассасывания нефункционирующего участка легочной ткани, улучшить состояние плода, предотвратить хирургические вмешательства в неонатальном периоде [3,4,14,17]. Более часто подобная манипуляция осуществляется при ВКАМЛ, по сравнению с бронхоатрезией и бронхопульмональной секвестрацией (65% относительно 18% и 17% соответственно) [18].…”

“…Так, при изучении 5 случаев гибридной аномалии (крупного кистозного образования (ВКАМЛ), кровоснабжающегося из системного кровотока) было установлено, что в 60% случаев после выполнения лазерной абляции наблюдался полный регресс нефункционирующей легочной ткани, а в 40% обнаруживалось уменьшение размеров дополнительной доли, однако кистозная ее часть сохранялась, в связи с чем требовалось дополнительное хирургическое вмешательство в постнатальном периоде. Не смотря на это, риск гибели плода удавалось значительно снизить [3].…”
