Virtual-assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP) is a novel marking technique to assist sub-lobar resection of small hardly palpable lung tumors. Here, we present the first case of synchronous bilateral multiple lung adenocarcinomas that were successfully resected with VAL-MAP navigation.
A 73-year-old female with multiple nodules (1 in the right upper lobe, 2 in the right lower lobe, 1 in the left upper lobe, and 1 in the left lower lobe) was referred. Complete resection was achieved with left lower lobectomy in combination with sub-lobar resections (wedge resection for a lesion in the left upper lobe, segmentectomy for a lesion in the right upper lobe, and complex segmentectomy for lesions in the right lower lobe) in which resection lines with securing adequate margins were determined with VAL-MAP navigation.
VAL-MAP is useful in sub-lobar resections including complex segmentectomy for multiple lung adenocarcinomas.
虚拟辅助肺绘图(VAL-MAP)是一种新型的标记技术,用于辅助难以触及的小肺肿瘤的亚肺叶切除。在此,我们展示了首例通过VAL-MAP导航成功切除的同步双侧多发性肺腺癌病例。
一名73岁女性,有多个结节(右上叶1个,右下叶2个,左上叶1个,左下叶1个)。通过左下叶切除术联合亚肺叶切除术(左上叶病变行楔形切除术,右上叶病变行节段切除术,右下叶病变行复杂节段切除术)实现了完全切除,其中通过VAL-MAP导航确定了具有足够切缘的切除线。
VAL-MAP在包括复杂节段切除术在内的多发性肺腺癌亚肺叶切除术中有用。
