CHAPTER 25 THORACIC ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Azygous vein runs along the right side and dumps into superior vena cava Thoracic duct runs along the right side, crosses midline at T4–5, and dumps into left subclavian vein at junction with internal jugular vein Phrenic nerve – runs anterior to hilum Vagus nerve – runs posterior to hilum Right lung volume 55% (3 lobes: RUL, RML, and RLL) Left lung volume 45% (2 lobes: LUL and LLL and lingula) Quiet inspiration – diaphragm 80%, intercostals 20% Greatest change in dimension superior/inferior Accessory muscles – sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), levators, serratus posterior, scalenes Type I pneumocytes – gas exchange Type II pneumocytes – surfactant production Pores of Kahn – direct air exchange between alveoli PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS Need predicted postop FEV1 > 0.8 (or > 40% of the predicted postop value) • If it is close → get qualitative V/Q scan to see contribution of that portion of lung to overall FEV1 → if low, may still be able to resect Need predicted postop DLCO > 10 mL/min/mm Hg CO (or > 40% of the predicted postop value) • Measures carbon monoxide diffusion and represents oxygen exchange capacity • This value depends on pulmonary capillary surface area, hemoglobin content, and alveolar architecture No resection if preop pCO2 > 50 or pO2 < 60 at rest No resection if preop VO2 max < 10–12 mL/min/kg (maximum oxygen consumption) Persistent air leak – most common after segmentectomy/wedge Atelectasis – most common after lobectomy Arrhythmias – most common after pneumonectomy LUNG CANCER Symptoms: can be asymptomatic with finding on routine CXR; cough, hemoptysis, atelectasis, PNA, pain, weight loss Most common cause of cancer-related death in the United States Nodal involvement has strongest influence on survival Brain – single most common site of metastasis • Can also go to supraclavicular nodes, other lung, bone, liver, and adrenals Recurrence usually appears as disseminated metastases • 80% of recurrences are within the 1st years Lung CA overall 5-year survival rate 10%; 30% with resection for cure Stage I and II disease resectable; T3,N1,M0 (stage IIIa) possibly resectable Lobectomy or pneumonectomy most common procedure; sample suspicious nodes Non–small cell carcinoma • 80% of lung CA • Squamous cell carcinoma usually more central • Adenocarcinoma usually more peripheral • Adenocarcinoma is the most common lung CA (not squamous) TNM STAGING SYSTEM FOR LUNG CANCER • T1: < cm T2: > cm but > cm away from carina T3: invasion of chest wall, pericardium, diaphragm, or < cm from carina T4: mediastinum, esophagus, trachea, vertebra, heart, great vessels, malignant effusion (all indicate unresectability) • N1: ipsilateral hilum nodes N2: ipsilateral mediastinal or subcarinal (unresectable) • N3: contralateral mediastinal or supraclavicular (unresectable) • M1: distant metastasis Small cell carcinoma • 20% of lung CA; neuroendocrine in origin • Usually unresectable at time of diagnosis (< 5% candidates for surgery) • Overall 5-year survival rate < 5% (very poor prognosis) • Stage T1,N0,M0 5-year survival rate – 50% • Most get just chemo-XRT Paraneoplastic syndromes • Squamous cell CA – PTH-related peptide • Small cell CA – ACTH and ADH • Small cell ACTH – most common paraneoplastic syndrome Mesothelioma • Most malignant lung tumor • Aggressive local invasion, nodal invasion, and distant metastases common at the time of diagnosis • Asbestos exposure Non–small cell CA chemotherapy (stage II or higher) – carboplatin, Taxol Small cell lung CA chemotherapy – cisplatin, etoposide XRT can be used for lung CA as well Chest and abdominal CT scan – single best test for clinical assessment of T and N status PET scan – best test for M status Mediastinoscopy • Use for centrally located tumors and patients with suspicious adenopathy (> 0.8 cm or subcarinal > 1.0 cm) on chest CT • Does not assess aorto-pulmonary (AP) window nodes (left lung drainage) • Assesses ipsilateral (N2) and contralateral (N3) mediastinal nodes • If mediastinal nodes are positive, tumor is unresectable • Looking into middle mediastinum with mediastinoscopy • Left-side structures – RLN, esophagus, aorta, main pulmonary artery (PA) • Right-side structures – azygous and SVC • Anterior structures – innominate vein, innominate artery, right PA Chamberlain procedure (anterior thoracotomy or parasternal mediastinotomy) – assesses enlarged AP window nodes; go through left 2nd rib cartilage Bronchoscopy – needed for centrally located tumors to check for airway invasion For lung CA, patients need to 1) be operable (eg have appropriate FEV1 and DLCO values) and 2) be resectable (ie can’t have T4, N2, N3, or M disease) Pancoast tumor – tumor invades apex of chest wall and patients have Horner’s syndrome (invasion of sympathetic chain → ptosis, miosis, anhidrosis) or ulnar nerve symptoms Coin lesion • Overall, 10% are malignant • Age < 50 → < 5% malignant; age > 50 → > 50% malignant • No growth in years, and smooth contour suggests benign disease • If suspicious, will need either guided biopsy or wedge resection Asbestos exposure increases lung CA risk 90X Bronchoalveolar CA – can look like pneumonia; grows along alveolar walls; multifocal Metastases to the lung – if isolated and not associated with any other systemic disease, may be resected for colon, renal cell CA, sarcoma, melanoma, ovarian, and endometrial CA CARCINOIDS Neuroendocrine tumor, usually central • 5% have metastases at time of diagnosis; 50% have symptoms (cough, hemoptysis) Typical carcinoid – 90% 5-year survival rate Atypical carcinoid – 60% 5-year survival Tx: resection; treat like cancer; outcome closely linked to histology Recurrence increased with positive nodes or tumors > cm BRONCHIAL ADENOMAS Mucoepidermoid adenoma, mucous gland adenoma, and adenoid cystic adenoma → all are malignant tumors Mucoepidermoid adenoma and mucous gland adenoma • Slow growth, no metastases • Tx: resection Adenoid cystic adenoma • From submucosal glands; spreads along perineural lymphatics, well beyond endoluminal component; very XRT sensitive • Slow growing; can get 10-year survival with incomplete resection • Tx: resection; if unresectable, XRT can provide good palliation HAMARTOMAS Most common benign adult lung tumor Have calcifications and can appear as a popcorn lesion on chest CT Diagnosis can be made with CT Do not require resection Repeat chest CT in months to confirm diagnosis MEDIASTINAL TUMORS IN ADULTS Most are asymptomatic; can present with chest pain, cough, dyspnea Neurogenic tumors – most common mediastinal tumor in adults and children, usually in posterior mediastinum 50% of symptomatic mediastinal masses are malignant 90% of asymptomatic mediastinal masses are benign Location • Anterior (thymus) – most common site for mediastinal tumor; T’s → • Thymoma (#1 anterior mediastinal mass in adults) • Thyroid CA and goiters • T-cell lymphoma • Teratoma (and other germ cell tumors) • Parathyroid adenomas • Middle (heart, trachea, ascending aorta) • Bronchiogenic cysts • Pericardial cysts • Enteric cysts • Lymphoma • Posterior (esophagus, descending aorta) • Enteric cysts • Neurogenic tumors • Lymphoma Thymoma • All thymomas require resection • Thymus too big or associated with refractory myasthenia gravis → resection • 50% of thymomas are malignant • 50% of patients with thymomas have symptoms • 50% of patients with thymomas have myasthenia gravis • 10% of patients with myasthenia gravis have thymomas Myasthenia gravis – fatigue, weakness, diplopia, ptosis; antibodies to acetylcholine receptors • Tx: anticholinesterase inhibitors (neostigmine); steroids, plasmapheresis • 80% get improvement with thymectomy, including patients who not have thymomas Germ cell tumors • Need to biopsy (often done with mediastinoscopy) • Teratoma – most common germ cell tumor in mediastinum • Can be benign or malignant • Tx: resection; possible chemotherapy • Seminoma – most common malignant germ cell tumor in mediastinum • 10% are beta-HCG positive; should not have AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) • Tx: XRT (extremely sensitive); chemotherapy reserved only for metastases or bulky nodal disease; surgery for residual disease after that • Non-seminoma – 90% have elevated beta-HCG and AFP • Tx: chemo (cisplatin, bleomycin, VP-16); surgery for residual disease Cysts • Bronchiogenic – usually posterior to carina Tx: resection • Pericardial – usually at right costophrenic angle Tx: can leave alone (benign) Neurogenic tumors – have pain, neurologic deficit Tx: resection • 10% have intra-spinal involvement that requires simultaneous spinal surgery • Neurolemmoma (schwannoma) – most common • Paraganglioma – can produce catecholamines, associated with von Recklinghausen’s disease • Can also get neuroblastomas and neurofibromas TRACHEA Benign tumors: adults – papilloma; children – hemangioma Malignant – squamous cell carcinoma Most common late complication after tracheal surgery – granulation tissue formation Most common early complication after tracheal surgery – laryngeal edema • Tx: reintubation, racemic epinephrine, steroids Post-intubation stenosis – at stoma site with tracheostomy, at cuff site with ET tube • Serial dilatation, bronchoscopic resection, or laser ablation if minor • Tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis if severe or if it keeps recurring Tracheo-innominate artery fistula – occurs after tracheostomy, can have rapid exsanguination • Tx: place finger in tracheostomy hole and hold pressure → median sternotomy with ligation and resection of innominate artery • This complication is avoided by keeping tracheostomy above the 3rd tracheal ring Tracheo-esophageal fistula • Usually occurs with prolonged intubation • Place large-volume cuff endotracheal tube below fistula • May need decompressing gastrostomy • Attempt repair after the patient is weaned from ventilator • Tx: tracheal resection, reanastomosis, close hole in esophagus, sternohyoid flap between esophagus and trachea LUNG ABSCESS Necrotic area; most commonly associated with aspiration Most commonly in the superior segment of RLL Tx: antibiotics alone (95% successful); CT-guided drainage if that fails • Surgery if above fails or cannot rule out cancer (> cm, failure to resolve after weeks) Chest CT can help differentiate empyema from lung abscess EMPYEMA Usually secondary to pneumonia and subsequent parapneumonic effusion (staph, strep) Can also be due to esophageal, pulmonary, or mediastinal surgery Symptoms: pleuritic chest pain, fever, cough, SOB Pleural fluid often has WBCs > 500 cells/cc, bacteria, and a positive Gram stain Exudative phase (1st week) – Tx: chest tube, antibiotics Fibro-proliferative phase (2nd week) – Tx: chest tube, antibiotics; possible VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) deloculation Organized phase (3rd week) – Tx: likely need decortication; fibrous peel occurs around lung • Some are using intra-pleural tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) to try and dissolve the peel • May need Eloesser flap (open thoracic window – direct opening to external environment) in frail/elderly CHYLOTHORAX Milky white fluid; has ↑ lymphocytes and TAGs (> 110 mL/µL); Sudan red stains fat Fluid is resistant to infection 50% secondary to trauma or iatrogenic injury 50% secondary to tumor (lymphoma most common, due to tumor burden in the lymphatics) Injury above T5–6 results in left-sided chylothorax Injury below T5–6 results in right-sided chylothorax Tx: 2–3 weeks of conservative therapy (chest tube, octreotide, low-fat diet or TPN) • If above fails and chylothorax secondary to trauma or iatrogenic injury, need ligation of thoracic duct on right side low in mediastinum (80% successful) • For malignant causes, need talc pleurodesis and possible chemo and/or XRT (less successful than above) MASSIVE HEMOPTYSIS > 600 cc/24 h; bleeding usually from high-pressure bronchial arteries Most commonly secondary to infection, death is due to asphyxiation Tx: place bleeding side down; mainstem intubation to side opposite of bleeding to prevent drowning in blood; rigid bronchoscopy to identify site and possibly control bleeding; may need lobectomy or pneumonectomy to control; bronchial artery embolization if not suitable for surgery SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOTHORAX Tall, healthy, thin, young males; more common on the right Recurrence risk after 1st pneumothorax is 20%, after 2nd pneumothorax is 60%, after 3rd pneumothorax is 80% Results from rupture of a bleb usually in the apex of the upper lobe of the lung Tx: chest tube Surgery for recurrence, air leak > days, non-reexpansion, high-risk profession (airline pilot, diver, mountain climber), or patients who live in remote areas Surgery consists of thoracoscopy, apical blebectomy, and mechanical pleurodesis OTHER CONDITIONS Tension pneumothorax – most likely to cause arrest after blunt trauma; impaired venous return Catamenial pneumothorax – occurs in temporal relation to menstruation • Caused by endometrial implants in the visceral lung pleura Residual hemothorax despite good chest tubes → OR for thoracoscopic drainage Clotted hemothorax – surgical drainage if > 25% of lung, air–fluid levels, or signs of infection (fever, ↑ WBCs); surgery in 1st week to avoid peel Broncholiths – usually secondary to infection Mediastinitis – usually occurs after cardiac surgery Whiteout on chest x-ray • Midline shift toward whiteout – most likely collapse → need bronchoscopy to remove plug • No shift – CT scan to figure it out • Midline shift away from whiteout – most likely effusion → place chest tube Bronchiectasis – acquired from infection, tumor, cystic fibrosis • Diffuse nature prevents surgery in most patients Tuberculosis – lung apices; get calcifications, caseating granulomas • Ghon complex → parenchymal lesion + enlarged hilar nodes • Tx: INH, rifampin, pyrazinamide Sarcoidosis – has non-caseating granulomas Recurrent pleural effusions can be treated with mechanical pleurodesis • Talc pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusions Airway fires – usually associated with the laser • Tx: stop gas flow, remove ET tube, re-intubate for 24 hours; bronchoscopy AVMs – connections between the pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins; usually in lower lobes; can occur with Osler–Weber–Rendu disease • Symptoms: hemoptysis, SOB, neurologic events • Tx: embolization Chest wall tumors • Benign – osteochondroma most common • Malignant – chondrosarcoma most common CHAPTER 26 CARDIAC CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE R → L shunts cause cyanosis • Children squat to increase SVR and decrease R → L shunts • Cyanosis – can lead to polycythemia, strokes, brain abscess, endocarditis • Eisenmenger’s syndrome: shift from L → R shunt to R → L shunt • Sign of increasing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and pulmonary HTN; this condition is generally irreversible L → R shunts cause CHF – manifests as failure to thrive, ↑ HR, tachypnea, hepatomegaly; CHF in children – hepatomegaly 1st sign L → R shunts (CHF) – VSD, ASD, PDA R → L shunts (cyanosis) – tetralogy of Fallot Ductus arteriosus – connection between descending aorta and left pulmonary artery (PA); blood shunted away from lungs in utero Ductus venosum – connection between portal vein and IVC; blood shunted away from liver in utero Fetal circulation to placenta – umbilical arteries Fetal circulation from placenta – umbilical vein Specific drugs aminoglycosides,
