Objectives General thoracic surgeons must be familiar with anatomical variations in the
pulmonary bronchi and vessels. We analyzed variations in the bronchovascular pattern of …

Objectives General thoracic surgeons must be familiar with anatomical variation in the
pulmonary vessels and bronchi. Here, we analyzed the bronchovascular pattern of the right …

Purpose Anatomic variations of the pulmonary arterial tree can cause technical difficulties
during pulmonary lobectomy in general and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Using …

Familiarity with prevailing pattern and variations in the bronchial tree is not only essential for
the anatomist to explain bronchial variation in bronchial specimens, but also useful for …

Objective Little information is available regarding the variations in pulmonary vein anatomy
for the purpose of thoracic or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). To learn about …

Objective Thoracic surgeons must be erudite pulmonary vein variation when performing
anatomical segmentectomy. We used three-dimensional CT (3DCT) to accumulate …

Purpose To preoperatively evaluate anatomic variations of the bronchial arteries by
obtaining three-dimensional (3D) simulations with multidetector computed tomography (CT) …

Lung surgeries in patients with bronchial variations have rarely been reported. Here, we
describe the case of a patient along with lung cancer with variant anatomy of the right upper …

Purpose To identify and clarify the comprehensive anatomic patterns in the left lower lobe
(LLL). Methods Using computed tomography (CT) imaging data, including that obtained …

Anatomical variations of the bronchi and lung vessels may be important obstacles during
lung resection if overlooked. We designed this study to determine the frequency and types of …
