Scintigraphic Assessment of Lung Perfusion and Ventilation in Patients After Pneumonectomy Open
Background/Objectives: The physiological ventilation–perfusion ratio (V/Q) in the upper pulmonary field is >3 and in the lower pulmonary field it is 5 years after pneumonectomy. Results: Average flow was 21.1% in the upper field, 47.8% in …

Thoracoplasty Without Rib Resection by the Sawamura Technique: A Forgotten Technique for Effective Complex Pleural Empyema Management in a Single-Step Open
Treatment for complex pleural empyema often requires thoracoplasty with rib(s) resection to remodel the thoracic cage and obliterate chronic infected pleural cavities. Such procedures are complicated and result in permanent body deformatio…

Evaluation of Pulmonary Blood Flow, Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, and Pulmonary Artery in Patients After Pneumonectomy Open
Background/Objectives: After pneumonectomy, the right ventricular stroke volume is pumped into pulmonary vessels whose volume has been reduced by approximately 50%. To sustain conditions for pulmonary flow, the flow reserve is increased in…

Scintigraphic Assessment of Pulmonary Flow in Patients After Pneumonectomy Open
Background: Pulmonary circulation typically shows flow divided between the right and left lungs, with a marked predominance of the right lung. Pneumonectomy reduces pulmonary circulation by ~50%, irreversibly changing the pulmonary perfusi…
