Anatomical lung segmentectomy simulated by computed tomographic angiography

Abstract

We describe the benefits of simulating lung segmentectomy by using multi-detector computed tomographic angiography. Preoperative determination of the anatomical, intersegmental plane is possible by visualizing the branches of the pulmonary veins. This new technique could be useful in thoracoscopic segmentectomy of the lung.
