Background
We conducted a multi-institutional study comparing VATS lobectomy to Hybrid, and conventional open lobectomy for unmatched and propensity score-matched patients with stage I NSCLC in an attempt to stratify any potential differences in perioperative outcomes and long-term survival outcomes among the three procedures in patients with stage I NSCLC on a homogeneous well-balanced large population from multi-institutions.Methods
Between January 2001 and December 2008 in eight institutions from the People’s Republic of China, a total of 2485 patients with stage I NSCLC who underwent lobectomy via c-VATS, Hybrid, or open thoracotomy were entered into the current multi-institutional registry. One thousand and fifty-six patients (42.5%) underwent c-VATS lobectomy, 273 patients (11.0%) underwent Hybrid lobectomy, and 1156 patients (46.5%) underwent open lobectomy. Of the patients who attempted to undergo c-VATS lobectomy, 65 were converted to assisted-VATS and 49 patients were converted to open lobectomy.Results
After propensity-matching, c-VATS, Hybrid, and open lobectomy patients were similar in regards to age, gender, histological type and pathological TNM staging. Median operative time was 156.16±17.08 min in open lobectomy group, higher than in c-VATS lobectomy group (145.39±13.1 min) and Hybrid lobectomy group (148.86±11.62) before matching (P<0.001), after matching, it was 154.5±16.89 min, 145.41±12.17 min, and 148.81±11.63 min in open, c-VATS, and Hybrid lobectomy group, respectively (P<0.001). Transfusion occurred in 4 (12.9%) patients in c-VATS group and 6 (19.4%) patients in Hybrid group, both of them lower than in open lobectomy group of 21 (67.7%) patients (P=0.003). However, after matching, there was no statistical difference among three groups, 5 (41.7%) patients, 1 (8.3%) patients, and 6 (50.0%) patients in open, c-VATS, and Hybrid group, respectively (P=0.112). After selecting the propensity-matched patients, the 5-year survival of 78%, 74% and 76% in patients who underwent c-VATS, Hybrid, and open lobectomy, respectively. The perioperative mortality rate was 1.1% for the open group, 1.0% for the Hybrid group, and 0.8% for the VATS group. Two prognostic factors were independently associated with improved survival outcome in multivariate analysis: age < 60 (p = 0.01) and smoking history (p = 0.012). When comparing the three propensity-matched populations, patients who underwent c-VATS lobectomy had similar long-term survival outcomes to patients who underwent Hybrid or conventional thoracotomy (p = 0.770).Conclusion
The present multi-institutional study represents the largest dataset evaluating surgical outcomes of patients who underwent c-VATS or Hybrid for NSCLC. VATS lobectomy for NSCLC was not associated with inferior long-term survival compared to Hybrid or conventional thoracotomy.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

O20.06 - Surgical techniques and results of reconstruction of the pulmonary artery for patients with central non-small cell lung cancer (ID 110)
17:10 - 17:20 | Author(s): D. Liu
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
It is difficult to achieve a margin-negative resection (R0) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with infiltration of the pulmonary artery. We report our experience with reconstruction of the pulmonary artery with regard to long-term survival.Methods
Clinical records of 118 patients with NSCLC who underwent partial or circumferential pulmonary artery resection during a 21-year period were reviewed retrospectively. Technical outcomes and survival were analyzed.Results
We performed 22 pulmonary artery sleeve resections, 51 reconstructions by autologous pericardial patch, 36 tangential resections, 3 left main pulmonary artery (PA) angioplasties during pneumonectomy without cardiopulmonary bypass, and 6 by only preserving the 1[st] branch of pulmonary arterial trunk. In 41 patients, bronchial sleeve resection was associated; in 7 cases, superior vena cava reconstruction was also required. Thirty-one patients received induction therapy. Thirteen patients had stage IB disease, 41 stage II, 53 IIIA, and 11 IIIB. Ninety-three patients had squamous cell carcinoma, 22 adenocarcinoma, 2 mixed and 1 large cell carcinoma. Negative bronchial and vascular margins were achieved in all. 5 positive bronchial margins were due to limited lung function. The analysis of 118 cases yielded follow-up data in 94 cases. The mean follow-up was 70 months (range 1-156 months). There was no in hospital death, and the overall 5-year survival was 50.2%. Five-year survival for stages Iand II, versus IIIwere 63.9% versus 37.0% (p=0.0059). Multivariate analysis yielded non-squamous cell carcinoma, stage IIIand patch pulmonary arterioplasty as negative prognosis factors. PA reconstruction associated with bronchial sleeve resection was the positive prognostic factor.´Conclusion
Pulmonary artery resection and reconstruction is feasible and safe, with favorable long-term survival. Our results support this technique as an effective alternative to selected patients with infiltration of the pulmonary artery, such as stage Iand IIand those who proved down-staged from stage III. Accurate preoperative evaluation, precise and suitable surgical techniques are crucial to achieve good results. Only preserving the anterior and apical pulmonary arteries reconstruction of the main pulmonary artery by using the artery conduit technique without cardiopulmonary bypass in association with left pneumonectomy can be performed successfully. Postoperative anticoagulation is unnecessary.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.
