Aortoesophageal fistula involving the central aortic arch salvaged with emergent percutaneous TEVAR, great vessel coverage and in vivo graft fenestration.
We describe an unusual and challenging case of TEVAR coverage of an AEF involving the central aortic arch immediately followed by in vivo endograft fenestration to regain arch vessel perfusion. In vivo fenestration, currently a procedure for emergency or investigational purposes only, was shown to be life saving in our case. The main complications associated with the procedure included stroke and infection, requiring esophagectomy and cervical diversion as well as ongoing antibiotic treatment.

Postoperative hemodynamic changes for predicting anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy in patients with esophageal cancer using the FloTrac system.
Discussion: The hemodynamic change by employing the FloTrac system could predicts the complication of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy. Adequate management of hemodynamic stability by utilizing it will reduce the complications of anastomotic leakage. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 240-245, August, 2020. PMID: 33148895 [PubMed - in process]

Perioperative Management of Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With History of Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Surgery for Esophageal Cancer: A Single-center Experience
Conclusion: It is a reasonable approach to discontinue antiplatelet therapy for more than 7 days before surgery, especially in such a population of patients with esophageal cancer that require complex operations with high bleeding risk.

The effects of neoadjuvant therapy on morbidity and mortality of esophagectomy for esophageal cancer: American college of surgeons national surgical quality improvement program (ACS –NSQIP) 2005–2012
ConclusionsWe conclude that neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy for esophageal cancer does not have a negative impact on 30‐day mortality. Neoadjuvant therapy is associated with increased odds of PE. J. Surg. Oncol. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Evaluation of stroke volume variation and pulse pressure variation as predictors of fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing protective one-lung ventilation.
Authors: Fu Q, Duan M, Zhao F, Mi W Abstract In order to investigate whether the hemodynamic indices, including stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) could predict fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing protective one-lung ventilation. 60 patients scheduled for a combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy were enrolled and randomized into two groups. The patients in the protective group (Group P) were ventilated with a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg, an inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) of 80%, and a positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O. Patients in the conventional ...

Goal-directed fluid therapy using stroke volume variation does not result in pulmonary fluid overload in thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation.
Conclusions. SVV-guided fluid management in thoracic surgery requiring lateral thoracotomy and one-lung ventilation does not result in pulmonary fluid overload. Although oxygenation was reduced, pulmonary function remained within a clinically acceptable range. PMID: 22778929 [PubMed]

Perioperative Fluid Management for Pulmonary Resection Surgery and Esophagectomy
Perioperative fluid management is of significant importance during pulmonary resection surgery and esophagectomy. Excessive fluid administration has been consistently shown as a risk factor for lung injury after thoracic procedures. Probable causes of this serious complication include fluid overload, lung lymphatics and pulmonary endothelial damage. Along with new insights regarding the Starling equation and the absence of a third space, current evidence supports a restrictive fluid regimen for patients undergoing pulmonary resection surgery and esophagectomy. Multiple minimally invasive hemodyamic monitoring devices, incl...
