      Background:
      Postoperative hemorrhage after lung cancer surgery is a potentially fatal complication. This study aimed to investigate the indications and timing of reoperation for postoperative hemorrhage after lung cancer surgery.

      Method:
      We identified all patients who underwent lung resection and mediastinal lymph node dissection for lung cancer between October 2001 and September 2015 at Sichuan Cancer Hospital, identifying 57 who had undergone reoperation for hemostasis. The records of these 57 patients were reviewed and analyzed.

      Result:
      The most common postoperative hemorrhage site was the separation surface of the original pleural adhesions (29.8%). The median time interval between the initial operation and reoperation was 12 hours (range, 2-432 hours), and most patients (77.2%) underwent reoperation within 24 hours. The overall morbidity and mortality rates of reoperation were 50.9% and 5.3%, respectively. The morbidity rates of early reoperation group (≤ 24 hours) and late reoperation group were 43.2% and 77.0%, respectively, which were significantly different (P=0.033). The mortality rates of early reoperation group and late reoperation group were 0 and 23.1%, respectively, which were also significantly different (P=0.010).

      Table 1 Origin of postoperative bleeding for reoperation
      Origin of bleeding Number of patients (n=57) Percentage
      Pulmonary resection surface 1 1.8
      Pulmonary artery trunk 1 1.8
      Pulmonary artery branch 2 3.5
      Chest wall invasion resection surface 4 7.0
      Intercostal blood vessel 4 7.0
      Bronchial artery 6 10.5
      Hemothorax-unknown origin 11 19.3
      Lymph node dissection surface 11 19.3
      Pleural adhesion separation surface 17 29.8
      Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      Once indications of reoperation for postoperative hemorrhage after lung cancer surgery are identified, reoperation within 24 hours after the initial operation can get a better short-term outcome.

      P3.16-037 - Superior Vena Cava Replacement Combined with Veno-Venous Shunt for Lung Cancer and Thymoma: Case Series (ID 8036)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Author(s): X. Yang

      Background:
      Superior vena cava (SVC) replacement is infrequently performed and technically challenging in low-volume centers. Veno-venous shunt (VVS) technique is used to reduce SVC pressure during SVC replacement and has not been well reported. This study aims to add experience on this subject and evaluate the surgical outcomes of patients who undergo SVC replacement combined with VVS in our center.

      Method:
      A retrospective analysis of six patients who received SVC replacement combined with VVS from September 2011 to February 2017 was performed. Clinical characteristics, pathological features, operative characteristics, postoperative outcomes and survival of six patients were reviewed.

      Result:
      There were four males and two females with a median age of 44 years (range, 35-69 years). There were three lung cancer patients and three thymoma patients at a stage from IIIA to IVA. Five patients underwent induction therapy. Complete resection was performed on five patients. One case underwent internal VVS, and the other five cases underwent external VVS. Prosthesis grafts were employed in five cases and autologous pericardium in one case. Three cases underwent single-vein reconstruction, and the other three cases underwent double-vein reconstruction. The median SVC clamping time was 75 minutes. There were no postoperative deaths and major complications. All follow-up patients were alive, and no thrombosis was found in all the grafts.

      CRT, chemoradiotherapy; CT, chemotherapy; PR, partial response; RT, radiotherapy; S, surgery; SD, stable disease

      Conclusion:
      SVC replacement combined with VVS is technically feasible and safe. Although VVS technique is not a must, it may make SVC replacement safer in inexperienced centers. Surgery-based multidisciplinary treatment for selected patients with type T4 lung cancer and SVC involvement or thymoma and SVC involvement may achieve a favorable long-term outcome.
