RATIONALE: Thrombosis due to anastomotic site stenosis is the most common complication in patients with brachio-axillary arteriovenous graft (AVG). Intravascular stent placement may play a special role in the salvage of dialysis grafts that have been previously performed percutaneous angioplasty or surgical procedure on the graft. Herein, we applied a novel stent named Supera which has a high degr...
BACKGROUND: Patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) of the lung sometimes have a comorbid pulmonary disease such as pulmonary emphysema or an interstitial lung disease (ILD), both of which negatively affect patient outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of patients in a multicenter database who underwent surgery for cT1aN0M0 peripheral SqCC lung cancer.
