Population

Case series of patients with primary lung cancer who developed acute limb ischemia after video-assisted thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy or left upper division segmentectomy.

Exposure

Embolectomy

Outcome

Perioperative course

Highlights that pulmonary vein stump thrombosis after pulmonary lobectomy can be a rare cause of arterial embolism leading to acute limb ischemia.

Inoue et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Primary lung cancer and acute limb ischemia. Video-assisted thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy or left upper division segmentectomy was evaluated on Acute limb ischemia. Video-assisted thoracoscopic left upper lobectomy or segmentectomy for primary lung cancer was associated with acute limb ischemia due to pulmonary vein stump thrombosis in a case series.
