title: [Combined resection of the aortic wall in T4 lung cancer under the assistant devices].
abstract: Radical operation for T4 lung cancer is technically difficult. We report here 3 cases of T4N0M0 lung cancer involving aorta or left subclavian artery which was successfully operated on. We could carry out combined aortic resection more safely and speedy under the assistant devices, such as Anthrontube and Biomedicus Centrifugal Pump. Even T4 lung cancer having aortic invasion with N0 disease can be operated on and be expected long-term survival using these assistant devices.
