[Prevention of thrombo-embolic accidents after pneumonectomy (author's transl)].

The authors analyzed the progress in the prevention of thrombo-embolic risk in 550 pneumonectomies divided chronologically in 4 groups : without anticoagulant treatment, with post-operative anti-vitamin K, with post-operative calcium heparinate, with pre and post-operative calcium heparinate. This study revealed the necessity of a pre-operative systematic preventive treatment : systematic, as there is no biological reason enabling the prevention of thrombosis risk. Pre-operative, because venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism can occur very early.

[Dystrophic hyperlucent lung (author's transl)].

Emphysematous bullae isolated on a healthy lung and primitive progressive dystrophic emphysema all belong to the dystrophic hyperlucent lung and are surgical cases. Having recalled the excellent prognosis of isolated bullae, the authors analyzed the surgical indications in the progressive dystrophic emphysema concerning 66 observations of which 52 cases were operated. They showed that surgery provided many improvements and that making a pleural adhesion during the intervention limited the bullous evolution of the disease. Results plead in favour of early interventions and wider indications.
