| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of 3D imaging using multidetector row helical computed tomography (MDCT) in the preoperative assessment of the branching pattern of pulmonary artery (PA) before complete video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (complete VATS lobectomy) for lung cancer. METHODS: Forty-nine consecutive patients with clinical stage I lung cancer scheduled for complete VATS lobectomy were evaluated about branching pattern of PA on 16-channel MDCT. Intraoperative finding of the PA branching pattern were compared with the 3D-CT angiography images obtained using MDCT. RESULTS: According to the intraoperative findings, 95.2% (139 of 146) of PA branches were precisely identified on preoperative 3D-CT angiography. All of the seven undetected branches were within 2mm in diameter. There was not a case that needed conversion to open thoracotomy because of intraoperative bleeding. CONCLUSION: A 3D-CT angiography using MDCT clearly revealed individual anatomies of pulmonary artery and could play an important role in safely facilitating complete VATS lobectomy procedure. However, we were unable to detect several thin branches with this technique. So, more care should be taken to avoid bleeding from these small vessels. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
