Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by mutation in a tumour suppressor gene, FLCN, leading to skin tumours (fibrofolliculomas), renal tumours and pulmonary cysts. Lung involvement is predominantly observed in 70% of the cases of BHDS, manifesting in the form of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax. This video tutorial showcases the surgical management of recurrent right primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a young adult with a history of multiple episodes of bilateral pneumothorax managed by surgical intervention previously.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as a leading technique for undertaking the most complex pulmonary resections, providing high-definition 3D visualization, advanced instrument control and tremor-free tissue handling. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform offers reduced peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Nevertheless, sublobar resections, such as segmentectomies, remain both anatomically intricate and technically challenging, particularly when resecting multiple segments, as in this left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

PurposeTo summarize the currently available evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation performed by intensivists.MethodsWe conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for studies of any design in which patients underwent ECMO cannulation by intensivists. The search was updated on Dec 15, 2024.

Purpose: To develop and validate an integrated model based on MR high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) radiomics and clinical features to preoperatively assess periprocedural complications (PC) risk in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS).
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study enrolled 601 PTAS patients (PC+, n = 84; PC -, n = 517) from three centers. Patients were divided into training (n = 336), validation (n = 144), and test (n = 121) cohorts.

Background: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a life-threatening emergency involving the rupture of the carotid arteries and/or branches, often following surgery and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Our case series aimed to describe airway management strategies, endovascular and surgical approaches, perioperative resuscitation management, and clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients with CBS at a tertiary referral academic health center.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with CBS between 2017 and 2021.
