performed. This approach eliminates the potential problems with sternal healing but does
not provide as good an exposure as is obtained with sternal division.
A thorough examination should be made of both pleural spaces and adhesions divided as far as possible. For children or small adults, patients with pulmonary hypertension or where it is local custom, cardiopulmonary bypass can be adopted at this stage. Cannulation is via the ascending aorta and two separate caval cannulae. If a single atrial cannula is used, intermittent and troublesome SVC obstruction may occur, while retracting the structures at the right hilum.

Assuming the patient is stable and recourse to cardiopul­monary bypass is not anticipated, the right lung is deflated and ventilation continued on the left side only. Structures of the hilum are exposed and then divided; it is important to lig­ate the vessels relatively long so as to leave good sized stumps. Intrapericardial dissection is avoided at this stage. The patient can be tilted fairly steeply to the left side to improve access to the right hilum. The inferior pulmonary ligament can be divided by cautery, taking care to avoid the vagus nerve. The bronchus is stapled some way out from the hilum to avoid incorporation of the vagus nerve. Once the lung has been removed, the hilum is prepared as for a single lung transplan­tation.
IMPLANTATION OF THE FIRST LUNG
The right donor lung is placed in the field, lying posteriorly and surrounded in ice-cold saline-soaked swabs. After suit­able suctioning by the anesthetist, the staple line on the right main bronchus is amputated and hemostasis resecured. Access to the back of the hilum after completing the anasto­mosis is awkward so there should be a meticulous search for bleeding points at this stage.
The bronchus is anastomosed in a standard end-to-end fashion as for a single lung transplantation. Side-biting clamps are placed on the intrapericardial pulmonary veins and on the pulmonary artery to allow appropriate anastomo­sis to be performed. After de-airing the lung (again as for the single lung transplantation), the lung is cautiously reper­fused. Ventilation of the transplanted site is commenced. The bronchus is checked for air leaks and the rest of the hilum for bleeding points. If donor lung selection has been careful and preservation successful, the newly implanted lung readily takes over the function when right-sided one-lung ventilation is adopted.
IMPLANTATION OF THE SECOND LUNG
The patient is rolled steeply over on to the right side and the pericardium retracted within the limits of hemodynamic sta­bility. A similar left-sided pneumonectomy is performed, lig­ating and dividing the vascular structures and stapling the bronchus at a convenient point. The left lung is removed from the field; and again, great care is taken to avoid spilling infected secretions. The pleural space is again irrigated with an antiseptic solution. Left lung implantation is performed as for the single lung transplantation starting with a bronchial anastomosis, followed by pulmonary venous anastomosis with a side-biting clamp on the pulmonary veins on the left­hand side and ending with the pulmonary artery anastomo­sis. Hemodynamic embarrassment is not uncommon during the pulmonary venous anastomosis, and it may be necessary to carry out the suture line in a series of stages, resting the heart and the circulation after every few stitches. When the implantation is complete, de-airing and reperfusion is per­formed as before, and both lungs can be ventilated.
Apical and basal chest drains are placed and the chest
closed in a standard fashion with three stainless steel wires to the sternum, absorbable pericostal wires for pulling anterior ribs together, and muscle and overlying skin closed with con­tinuous absorbable sutures.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
This care is broadly similar for the two types of transplanta­tion although each can provide particular problems. After returning to the intensive care unit, ventilation is continued for at least several hours. Primary lung dysfunction, which occurs in 10–20% of patients, may be evident even on the operating table with frothy, proteinaceous secretions or over the first few hours with the appearance of a pulmonary edema picture on chest X-ray, increasing hypoxia, and decreased compliance. Management is with the application of positive end expiratory pressure and use of inhaled nitric oxide doses up to 40 parts/million. The problem is more easily contained in the bilateral lung transplantation recipient. Management is much more difficult in the setting of a single lung and obstructive disease because of the difficulty of applying posi­tive end expiratory pressure without causing air trapping and overdistension of the residual native lung. It may be necessary to resort to split lung ventilation with a double-lumen tube, ventilating the transplant vigorously and often leaving the contralateral lung completely unventilated, merely insufflat­ing oxygen to prevent a shunt.
Pain control is a major problem, and in bilateral lung transplantation we use an opiate epidural for a minimum of 5 days. Epidural analgesia is also useful in the natural thoraco­tomy of a single lung transplantation although a paraverte­bral catheter, carefully placed before the chest is closed, can give equivalent and excellent analgesia. Chest drains are left for several days as a leak of fluid from the newly implanted lung is always present at least partly because lymphatics have been divided. Any air leak at this stage is almost invariably from the lung parenchyma and should not cause concern over integrity of the bronchial anastomosis.
Antibiotics are continued but for only a few days in the “clean” setting of transplantation for obstructive or restrictive disease. Patients with septic lung disease will require broader spectrum and appropriately selected antibiotics. Information from some of the donor airways’ secretions may prompt a change of antibiotics and particularly the addition of antifun­gals if Candida species are present in the donor.
Immunosuppressants are obviously essential for the newly implanted lungs. A standard regimen incorporates a cal­cineurin inhibitor such as cyclosporin or tacrolimus given intravenously for 4 or 5 days together with a second line of attack such as azathioprine or mycophenolate and supple­mented by high dose steroids. This triple drug regimen has toxicities to both the kidneys and the bone marrow; the for­mer is a particular problem. A conflict exists between the need to avoid overhydration in the setting of an invariably damaged lung endothelium and combating overtoxicity with

good renal perfusion. A compromise is often achieved by giv­ing relatively low dose calcineurin inhibitors and use induc­tion therapy with either a polyclonal antithymal cytoglobulin (ATG) or one of the modern monoclonal IL2 receptor antag­onists.

Thoracic outlet syndromes

HISTORY
Clinical manifestations of thoracic outlet syndromes have afflicted humankind since prerecorded history. One of the first cases is described in Genesis 22:1. Abraham was planning to sacrifice his son Isaac to prove his devotion to God. As Abraham raised the knife, an angel of the Lord came to him and with omnipotent compassion created an ‘acute thoracic outlet syndrome,’ causing Abraham’s arm to become numb and weak. He dropped the knife, thus sparing Isaac and for­ever ending human sacrifice in the Judeo-Christian religions.
The earliest recorded reference to thoracic outlet syndrome was the anatomical recognition of cervical ribs by Galen and Vesalius. The first scientific study reported in the modern lit­erature was in 1740 by the German anatomist Hunauld. Sir Astley Cooper in 1821 was the first to describe symptoms of vascular compression from a cervical rib.
Paget in 1875 in London and von Schrötter in Vienna in 1874 independently described thrombosis of the axillary sub­clavian vein in the area of the thoracic outlet. The occlusion of the vein today is called the Paget-von Schrötter syndrome or effort thrombosis.
The term thoracic outlet syndrome was first used by Peet in
1956. The purpose of using a single term to encompass the various anatomical abnormalities such as the scalenus anti­cus, costoclavicular, and neurovascular compression syn­dromes was to promote simplification, particularly when the abnormalities produced similar symptoms. The first rib was recognized as the ‘common denominator’ against which the axillary subclavian artery and vein or brachial plexus was compressed by a variety of muscles, ligaments, or bone struc­tures.
In 1962, O. T. Claggett in his presidential address to the American Association of Thoracic Surgery presented the pos­terior high thoracoplasty approach for removal of the first rib
in thoracic outlet syndrome. In 1966, Roos described the transaxillary approach following the technique of Atkins and Palumbo for transaxillary sympathectomy. Neurophysi­ological testing was initiated by Caldwell, Krusen, and Crane in the 1960s and reported in 1968. They measured nerve con­duction velocities across the outlet in the median, ulnar, and musculocutaneous nerves. To perform reoperations for recurrent thoracic outlet syndrome, Urschel and Razzuk rec­ommended the posterior ‘high thoracoplasty’ approach. Thoracic outlet syndrome masquerading as coronary artery disease (‘pseudo’ angina) was described by Urschel et al. in
1973. A 50-year experience of over 5 000 cases of thoracic outlet
syndrome coming to surgery was presented by Dr. Urschel to the American Surgical Association in 1998, summarizing the changes in diagnosis and management of that disease process over half a century.
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
Indications for surgery include the failure of conservative measures to attenuate the symptoms caused by nerve com­pression after a 3-month period and the presence of pro­longed conduction velocities in the ulnar or median nerve. Other surgical indications include (1) the presence of atypical chest pain unrelieved by conservative management (not related to coronary artery, esophageal, or pulmonary patho­logical conditions); (2) the presence of hypersympathetic activity; (3) the narrowing or occlusion of the axillary subcla­vian artery with or without peripheral emboli; and (4) throm­bosis of the axillary subclavian vein (Paget-von Schrötter syndrome, effort thrombosis).
For nerve compression, the preferred initial surgical proce-
dure is the transaxillary approach for first rib resection, with

decompression of the axillary subclavian artery and vein as well as the brachial plexus. In contrast to the supraclavicular approach, the transaxillary approach allows the first rib to be removed, the scalene muscles divided and resected if neces­sary, and the outlet decompressed with minimal risk to the critical neurovascular structures that lie away from the first rib. Removing the rib completely is particularly important to minimize recurrence of the symptom complex as a result of regeneration of bone or fibrocartilage from an incompletely removed stump or rib remnant. To remove the first rib com­pletely using a supraclavicular approach, the brachial plexus and neurovascular structures must be retracted, which is a situation that results in a higher complication rate.
For recurrent thoracic outlet syndrome after either pri­mary transaxillary or supraclavicular operations, the poster­ior ‘thoracoplasty’ operation provides a safer approach and better access for removing bone remnants and scar from the
brachial plexus and subclavian vessels. This approach also allows dorsal sympathectomy to be performed for causalgia and sympathetic maintained pain syndrome.
For arterial reconstruction, the combined supraclavicular­infraclavicular approach is often used when bypass grafts are necessary for either occlusion or aneurysm. For venous occlusion (Paget-von Schrötter syndrome), the ideal manage­ment combines clot lysis with administration of urokinase through a catheter, followed by prompt decompression of the thoracic outlet by transaxillary resection of the first rib. Prolonged delay of clot lysis markedly increases morbidity, and failure to perform prompt first rib resection and thoracic outlet decompression leads to extremely high rates of recur­rence. Compression and sympathetic nerve hyperactivity not relieved by medical therapy should be treated by dorsal sym­pathectomy, usually performed in conjunction with resection of the fist rib through the same exposure.

When the chest wall is encountered, the dissection is carried superiorly to the first rib, with identifica­tion of the intercostal brachial nerve that exits between the first and second ribs. This nerve is preserved by retracting it anteriorly or posteriorly. Division produces 6 months to 1 year of paresthesia on the inner surface of the upper arm. The first rib is dissected subperiosteally with a Shaw-Paulson periosteal elevator, and the scalenus anticus muscle is identi­fied. A right-angle clamp is placed behind the muscle, with care taken not to injure the subclavian artery or vein. The scalenus anticus muscle is divided near its insertion on the first rib. This step avoids injury to the phrenic nerve, which courses away from the muscle at this level.

Care is taken not to injure the T1 nerve root below nor the C8 nerve root above. After the complete removal of the first rib, neurolysis of the C7, C8, and T1 nerve roots as well as the middle and lower trunks of the brachial plexus is per­formed. A video thoracoscope is used for this purpose because of its magnification and light. The scalenus medius and scalenus anticus muscles are resected up into the neck so that they will not reattach to the Sibson’s fascia or the pleura. Bands and adhesions are removed from the axillary-subcla­vian artery and the axillary-subclavian vein so that they are completely free. Hemostasis is secured.
