Bronchology Case Report PostersSESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Pulmonary aspergilloma is an intractable disease characterized by growth of the Aspergillus fungus to form fungus balls in preformed cavitary lesions of the lungs. Complete elimination of the fungus balls cannot be accomplished by antifungal treatment alone, and surgical pneumonectomy is recommended. We report two cases in which cavernostomy was performed because of recurrent infections of the residual lung and hemoptysis after operation for lung cancer. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Ryo Takahashi, Michio Fujino, Taiki Fujiwara, Hisami YamakawaNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

[New oral anticoagulantsRegional anaesthesia and new oral anticoagulants].
New oral anticoagulants (NOAC) are increasingly applied after hip and knee replacement and in patients with non-vavular atrial fibrillation. Patients with cardiac disease benefit from regional anaesthesia, especially catheter-provided postoperative pain relief, but are at higher risk for puncture-related haematoma when NOAC are applied simultaneously. ⋯ The respective time intervals are prolonged in patients with renal insufficiency, especially when Dabigatran is applied, until 36 to 72 h. In general, high risk patients with NOAC undergoing surgery benefit from an interdicsciplinary approach and from less traumatic techniques such as spinal anaesthesia or superficial peripheral nerve blocks.
