Video‐Assisted Thoracoscopic Right Upper Lobe Sleeve Resection After Endobronchial Treatment of Bronchial Carcinoid: Case Report
Yangbo Qiu, Junjun Ni, Rui Li, Minglei Yang
TL;DR
A 47-year-old woman with a bronchial tumor was treated with endobronchial therapy followed by a minimally invasive surgical resection, showing a potential effective treatment strategy.
Contribution
The case demonstrates a successful combination of endobronchial treatment and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for bronchial carcinoid.
Findings
The patient showed improved pulmonary function after endobronchial treatment.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery successfully removed the residual tumor.
The combined approach may be effective for treating bronchial tumors.
Abstract
A 47‐year‐old woman presented with significant respiratory symptoms and was diagnosed with a bronchial tumor. Histological analysis confirmed the tumor, initially treated with endobronchial treatment (EBT), was a typical carcinoid. Given the patient’s improved pulmonary function and in accordance with current clinical guidelines, she underwent video‐assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobe sleeve resection for the residual tumor. The combination of surgical resection and EBT may offer an effective treatment strategy for other bronchial tumors.
