Background: Consensus guidelines of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) (2016) provided recommendations for the management of lung metastases. Thermal ablation appears as a tool in the management of these secondary pulmonary lesions, in the same manner as surgical resection or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). Methods: Indications, technical considerations, oncological outcomes such as survival (OS) or local control (LC), prognostic factors and complications of thermal ablation in colorectal cancer lung metastases were reviewed and put into perspective with results of surgery and SABR. Results: LC rates varied from 62 to 91%, with size of the metastasis (<2 cm), proximity to the bronchi or vessels, and size of ablation margins (>5 mm) as predictive factors of LC. Median OS varied between 33 and 68 months. Pulmonary free disease interval <12 months, positive carcinoembryonic antigen, absence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and uncontrolled extra-pulmonary metastases were poor prognostic factors for OS. While chest drainage for less than 48 h was required in 13 to 47% of treatments, major complications were rare. Conclusions: Thermal ablation of a selected subpopulation of patients with colorectal cancer lung metastases is safe and can provide excellent LC and delay systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract Background Pulmonary tractotomy effectively treats deep pulmonary penetrating injuries; however, it requires the accurate insertion of forceps or a stapler into the wound tract. This report describes a case of tractotomy using the Penrose drain guide for a deep lung injury caused by chest drainage. Case presentation A 75-year-old man suffered multiple rib fractures and hemothorax. After admission, chest tube drainage was performed because the patient’s respiratory condition deteriorated due to increased right pleural effusion. However, as the chest tube was stabbing into the right upper lobe, a pulmonary tractotomy was performed to treat the injury. Cutting the visceral pleura just over the tip of the chest tube caused the tube to completely penetrate the lung. A Penrose drain tube was fixed to the chest tube, which was then removed. The Penrose drain tube completely penetrated the lung and was coupled to the anvil side of the stapler to guide it smoothly into the wound tract. After stapling left the wound tract open, selective suture ligation of the damaged vessel and bronchioles was performed. Conclusions Although the indications for tractotomy using the Penrose drain guide are limited, we believe that this technique can be useful in patients with deep stabbing or penetrating lung injuries with rod- or tube-shaped foreign body remnants.
