A 57-year-old man was diagnosed as having resectable advanced esophageal carcinoma adjacent to the trachea(Ut, cT3N0M0)and received preoperative docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil therapy. Due to tracheal tumor invasion and upstaging to cT4bN0M0 after 1 course of chemotherapy, the treatment was converted to definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). A remarkable response with no evidence of tracheal invasion was observed on computed tomography following definitive CRT. He underwent successful curative resection with salvage esophagectomy, and the resected tumor was staged as pT1bN0M0...

BACKGROUND: Double‑lumen tubes (DLTs) are commonly used for differential pulmonary ventilation during thoracic surgery. Few reports exist on subglottic stenosis among patients who underwent surgery involving DLTs; we lack immediate postoperative period documentation leading up to the onset and subsequent recovery of subglottic stenosis. Herein, we present a case of a 75-year-old woman successfully treated for subglottic stenosis after DLT. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 75-year-old woman presented to our hospital with an abnormal chest shadow, which was identified during a medical examination...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) adjacent to the trachea and compare them with those of PTMC distant from the trachea. METHODS: Patients who received RFA for solitary low-risk PTMC between June 2014 and July 2020 were reviewed and classified into adjacent and distant groups. To balance between-group confounders, the propensity score matching approach was employed. Volume, volume reduction ratio (VRR), tumor disappearance, complications, and disease progression were assessed and compared between the groups...

OBJECTIVE: Tracheal transplantation could be a better option for patients with long segmental laryngotracheal stenosis or defects, but the need for immunosuppressants limits its widespread use due to the antigenicity of the tracheal epithelium. Chemically treated or cryopreserved nonviable tracheal allografts have no immunogenicity but lead to necrosis and stenosis in long-term outcomes. The present report describes the 5-year outcomes of de-epithelialized viable tracheal allotransplantation without immunosuppressants in a patient with severe laryngotracheal stenosis...

Although surgery is considered the first choice of treatment for patients diagnosed with tracheal cancer, the prediction of overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing surgical intervention is poor. To address this issue, we developed a nomogram that combined a risk classification system to estimate the OS of patients with tracheal cancer who underwent surgical intervention. A total of 525 qualified patients were selected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database between 1975 and 2018 and were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts (7:3)...

Tracheal AERO stent collapse is a rare complication compared to bronchial AERO stent collapse due to differences in the nitinol framework thickness. A 58-year-old man with a bulky anaplastic thyroid carcinoma was referred to our hospital due to exacerbation of tracheal stenosis despite the administration of lenvatinib. His tracheal stenosis exhibited a severe extrinsic compression pattern with a length of 8 cm. Because tracheotomy was inappropriate, we placed an 18 × 80 mm AERO stent...

OBJECTIVE: Treatment options for acquired tracheal stenosis (ATS) are limited due to a series of pathophysiological changes including inflammation and cell proliferation. Micro ribonucleic acid-21-5p (miR-21-5p) may promote the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts. However, various types of fibrosis can be prevented with pirfenidone (PFD). Currently, the effect of PFD on miR-21-5p and its biological function has not been clarified. In this study, PFD was evaluated as a potential treatment for ATS by inducing fibroblast proliferation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fibroblasts by targeting miR-21-5p...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a hospital acquired pneumonia that occurs >48 hours after tracheal intubation. The diagnosis of POP should be based on clinical and radiological findings within 30 days after surgery. It is a common complication after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer patients. However, the specific impact of preoperative comorbidities on the incidence of POP remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the preoperative data of patients with lung cancer to help surgeons predict the risk of incidence of POP after thoracoscopic lung resection...
