Bronchoplasty plus pulmonary arterioplasty has become one of the standard surgical operation for central-type lung cancer. The aim of this study is to review the surgical experience of bronchoplasty and pulmonary arterioplasty in treatment of central-type lung cancer.
From 1987 to 2005, 56 patients with central-type lung cancer underwent bronchoplasty and pulmonary arterioplasty. There were 45 males and 11 females with a mean age of 56 years. According to pTNM classification, 18 cases were in stage IIB, and 32 in stage IIIA and 6 in stage IIIB. Histologically, there were 35 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 14 cases of adenocarcinoma, 4 cases of small cell lung cancer and 3 cases of carcinoid. The surgical procedures included sleeve resection of bronchus for 30 cases, wedge resection of bronchus for 26 cases, and sleeve resection of pulmonary artery for 16 cases and wedge resection of pulmonary artery for 40 cases.
One patient died in the perioperative period. The overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate was
