Article: A rare case of circumferential intramural dissection of the thoracic esophagus.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Esophageal intramural dissection is a rare disease, and whole thoracic esophageal intramural dissection is extremely rare. We report a case of circumferential intramural dissection of the thoracic esophagus, which occurred between the submucosal layer and the muscularis propria layer, with inflammation in the false lumen mimicking esophageal mediastinal fistula in the endoscopic view. The diagnosis was finally confirmed at operation and cured by thoracic esophagectomy.The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon 12/2010; 58(8):494-5. · 0.88 Impact Factor -
Article: Pulmonary sequestration: angioarchitecture evaluated by three-dimensional computed tomography angiography.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pulmonary sequestration represents an anomaly of nonfunctioning tracheobronchial branching with retention of the embryonic systemic arterial supply. We report a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration, in which the abnormal supplying artery and especially the abnormal draining vein were demonstrated by three-dimensional computed tomography angiography and were confirmed and treated using a video-assisted thoracoscopic procedure.The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon 09/2010; 58(6):354-6. · 0.88 Impact Factor
