In selected patients, the absorbable fibrin patch TachoSil® is superior to standard surgical treatment in reducing air leakage after pulmonary lobectomy. Pulmonary involvement is not considered a main feature of Marfan syndrome (MFS); however, spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) with a high rate of recurrence is frequently reported. We describe the use of TachoSil® in the supportive treatment of recurrent pneumothorax in a girl with MFS.
A 12-year-old girl with a previous diagnosis of MFS and recurrent history of left spontaneous pneumothorax was submitted to thoracoscopic atypical lung resection. Two patches (9.5 × 4.8 cm) were cut from the adhesive/foam complex (TachoSil®) and were pressed against the sutured area as supportive treatment. The patient recovered with no further SP recurrences.
The use of the TachoSil® surgical patch may be useful in pneumothorax supportive treatment, particularly in pediatric MFS by ameliorating the mechanical strength of the lung.
在部分患者中,可吸收纤维蛋白贴片TachoSil®在减少肺叶切除术后漏气方面优于标准手术治疗。肺部受累并非马凡综合征(MFS)的主要特征;然而,自发性气胸(SP)复发率高的情况却经常被报道。我们描述了TachoSil®在一名患有MFS的女孩复发性气胸支持治疗中的应用。
一名12岁女孩,既往诊断为MFS,有左侧自发性气胸复发史,接受了胸腔镜非典型肺切除术。从粘性/泡沫复合物(TachoSil®)上剪下两片(9.5×4.8厘米)贴片,按压在缝合区域作为支持治疗。患者康复,未再出现SP复发。
TachoSil®手术贴片的使用可能有助于气胸的支持治疗,特别是在儿科MFS中,通过改善肺的机械强度发挥作用。
