We have reviewed the records of our twenty-four @entity1 aged 80 years or older who underwent lung resections for @entity153 between 1983 and 1997 in our department. Eighteen @entity1 were male and six were female. @entity420 was the histology in more than half of the cases (13 @entity1 ), along with 8 @entity957 , 2 large cell @entity189 , and one @entity151 . More than single lobectomy was performed in each @entity1 . Unilateral pulmonary occlusion tests were employed in @entity1 with @entity73 . Every @entity1 , who underwent the unilateral pulmonary occlusion test, was certified that the total pulmonary vascular resistance index during unilateral pulmonary arterial occlusion test was less than 700 dyne.sec.cm-5.m2. @entity65 , such as paroxysmal @entity591 , @entity3465 atrial contraction, @entity1540 or @entity955 , were seen in 10 @entity1 . @entity260 , namely, sputa retention, retained secretions or @entity891 , were seen in 7 @entity1 . The extent of dissection of mediastinal lymph node was not correlated to the @entity260 . However, the incidence of @entity943 in the @entity1 who received R2 mediastinal lymphnode dissection was much higher than in those who received R1 or R0 dissection. Complete blood counts and serum biochemical analysis performed at about three weeks after operations revealed @entity491 and increases in levels of serum transaminase. These phenomena in @entity491 and increases in the levels of serum transaminase in these @entity1 were similar to those in younger @entity1 . There was no operative @entity204 . We conclude that some @entity1 over 80 years are candidates for lung resection after careful preoperative cardiopulmonary evaluation.
