Congenital Pulmonary Hybrid Lesions: Clinical Presentation, Surgical Management, and Outcomes
摘要
Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) lesion with an aberrant systemic blood supply is considered a “hybrid” lesion (HL). The aim of the study was to report authors’ experience in the presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of HL.
MethodsA retrospective cohort study of HL patients followed from 2000 to 2022 in a single institution was done. Clinical and radiographic data were collected from the medical records.
ResultsOver the study period, 39 patients with HL were identified. HL with CPAM type 2 was more common than type 1 (74% vs. 26%), and intralobar sequestrations were more prevalent than extralobar sequestrations (ELS) (79.5% vs. 20.5%). HL with CPAM type 2 had higher rates of co-morbidities and higher likelihood to present with respiratory symptoms after birth. HL with ELS had smaller feeding vessels (all < 4 mm) which resulted in lower rates of open thoracotomy approach for resection.
ConclusionsThe variability in HL patient presentation and outcomes is correlated with the size and the hybrid composition.
