OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of applying lung autotransplantation technique in the treatment of @entity2 of the @entity1315 . METHODS: Two @entity1 underwent @entity14485 upper and middle bilobectomy. Because the length of resected bronchus or pulmonary artery involved by @entity5 was too long to perform tension-free @entity254 , we had to transplant the lower lobar vein into the proximal stump of the upper lobar vein. Another two @entity1 underwent pneumonectomy firstly, because we could not perform sleeve lobectomy in suit as the @entity5 extended through the oblique fissure to the margin of the lower lobe. Subsequently, we resected the @entity5 parts at a separate table, and replanted the preservable part of the lung into the chest. RESULTS: Being followed up to December 1999, the @entity1 1, 3 and 4 had been alive with @entity5 free for 31, 18 and 13 months. The @entity1 1 and 3 had a good living quality but the @entity1 4 had a very poor activity. The @entity1 4 received resection of the replanted lung for pulmonary artery bronchus @entity456 on the 42nd day after operation. The second @entity1 died of tension pneumothorax associated with @entity292 on the 19th day after operation. CONCLUSION: Lung autotransplantation is an alternative technique for pulmonary preservation in @entity1 with @entity5 of the @entity1315 whose cardiopulmonary function is too poor to undergo pneumonectomy.
