Die pulmonale Thrombendarteriektomie ist ein potentiell kuratives Operationsverfahren bei Patienten mit chronischer thromboembolischer pulmonaler Hypertonie. Von Juni 1989 bis Dezember 1994 wurden in unserer Klinik 109 Patienten einer pulmonalen Thrombendarteriektomie unterzogen. Seit Januar 1995 wurden vielfaltige Veranderungen des operativen und postoperativen Therapiekonzepts vorgenommen. Wir berichten uber die Fruhergebnisse von 32 Thrombendarteriektomien, die von Januar 1995 bis Januar 1997 durchgefuhrt worden sind.

German Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996: lung volume reduction for endstage pulmonary emphysema at the Washington University of St. Louis.

The Thoracic Research Scholarship 1996 of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery enabled me to visit Barnes Hospital at the Washington University of St. Louis, USA, from May to July 1996. At that center Prof. J. D. Cooper has established lung-volume reduction surgery as a successful surgical treatment for patients with endstage pulmonary emphysema. The operation is performed using left-sided double-lumen intubation. After opening of the chest and pleura and starting single-lung ventilation the less diseased parts of the second lung collapse due to absorption atelectasis whereas the more diseased portion of the lung stays hyperinflated. Linear staplers buttressed with bov…
