Abstract OBJECTIVES During video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), blood oozing from the surface of the access port wound can hamper the surgical view. Although this oozing is difficult to prevent, it can be decreased by placing a wound edge protector with oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) on the surface of the access port wound, thereby improving the surgical outcomes and safety of VATS. METHODS We conducted a prospective, single-centre, open-label, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the operative outcomes of VATS when using the ORC (ORC group) compared with operative outcomes without using the ORC (non-ORC group). The primary end point was interruption of the operation as a result of blood oozing from the surface of the access port wound. The secondary end points were the other intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. RESULTS A total of 108 patients were divided into the ORC group (n = 54) and the non-ORC group (n = 54). Compared with the non-ORC group, the ORC group had fewer patients with an interruption in the operation (11.1% vs 51.8%; P < 0.001), less need for wound haemostasis of the access ports during wound closure (44.4% vs 72.2%; P = 0.003), similar rates of postoperative deaths and complications and a tendency for shorter operation times (149.3 vs 168.8 min, respectively; P = 0.083). CONCLUSION The use of an ORC sheet around a wound edge protector for haemostasis can ensure a clear view during VATS. Clinical trial registration number UMIN000031112.

Diagnosis of non-specific aorto-arteritis (NSAA, Takaysu's arteritis) is typically based on clinical and investigational parameters. We report here about two patients with clinically suspected diagnosis of a Takayasu's arteritis already under anti-inflammatory therapy in whom percutaneous transluminal atherectomy of subclavian and axillary artery stenoses was performed to relief the patients from symptoms – intermittent dyspraxia of the arms – and to verify the clinical diagnosis by histology. In the first case aorto-arteritis could be histologically confirmed through the analysis of plaque material including media structures excised from the subclavian and axillary arteries using a new device for atherectomy. The biopsy showed diffuse inflammation and granulomatous lesions with giant cells typically for Takayasu's disease. In the second patient, biopsy showed no acute or chronic inflammatory signs but only atherosclerotic lesions. Percutaneous transluminal atherectomy is therefore not only an interventional but also a diagnostic tool and should be used in every case of interventional therapy of suspected aorto-arteritis to make the clinical diagnosis and as a major consequence the initiation of an aggressive anti-inflammatory medical therapy more reliable.
