Intrathoracic Needle Migration from the Mediastinum into the Thoracic Cavity
We report an interesting case of intrathoracic needle removal using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The needle was inserted under the left clavicle, penetrated the mediastinum, and migrated into the right thoracic cavity. Although pneumothorax developed during the disease course, no severe complications were observed. This rare case illustrates the course of needle migration from the mediastinum into the thoracic cavity. Prompt imaging and surgical removal of foreign bodies are necessary in cases of intrathoracic foreign bodies.PMID:38631862 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.cr.24-00039 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Prospective Observation Study for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax: Incidence of and Risk Factors for Postoperative Neogenesis of Bullae
CONCLUSIONS: We recognized a high incidence of postoperative NOB in PSP patients. Bullectomy itself seems to promote NOB. Postoperative NOB occurs frequently, especially in patients who require a large-volume lung resection with a long staple line.PMID:38599823 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00206 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Prognostic Impact of Serum SCC Antigen in the 566 Upfront Surgery Group of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Multi-Institutional Study of the Japan Esophageal Society
CONCLUSION: Both pre- and postoperative SCC-Ag-positive statuses were significantly associated with poor prognosis. Postoperative SCC-Ag-positive status was an independent risk factor for predicting overall survival.PMID:38583987 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.24-00028 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Prognostic Significance of CONUT Score in Elderly NSCLC
CONCLUSION: Preoperatively, the CONUT score can be used as a novel prognostic marker in elderly NSCLC patients. CONUT evaluations can also be used to design nutritional interventions to improve patient outcomes.PMID:38569836 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.24-00009 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

The Below-the-Knee Approach to Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy for Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Retrospective Single-Centre, Single-Arm Study
CONCLUSION: PMT via BTK puncture seems to be a safe and effective approach for treating lower extremity DVT. It is reserved for highly select patients with a low risk of bleeding and is performed at centers that have experience with this procedure.PMID:38538311 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.24-00015 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
