Outline of Final Research Achievements

Lung cancer patients who undergo lobectomy are prone to cardiogenic cerebral infarction. This may be due to changes in blood flow pattern in the left atrium after lobectomy. 4DCT images were taken before and after left upper lobectomy in 10 patients, and numerical fluid analysis in the left atrium was performed using a supercomputer.
This fluid pattern changed significantly after left upper lobectomy, and in some cases, the pulmonary vein blood flow into the left atrium collided with the pulmonary vein blood flow into the left atrium. We conducted a study to quantitatively evaluate the dissipated energy produced due to the collision of the incoming blood from the pulmonary veins after the procedure. As a result, we found some cases in which dissipated energy was significantly increased after left upper lobectomy. These results suggest that cerebral infarction after lung cancer surgery is caused by an increase in dissipated energy due to fluid impingement in the left atrium.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

左房内に発生する衝突流が心原性脳梗塞の原因と考えられた場合、術前のCTの情報から術後衝突流のリスクが高い症例では術式を肺葉切除術から区域切除に変更することによって、術後脳梗塞を予防できるものと考えられる。
また術後に発生する不整脈の原因とも考えられ、術後合併症対策の一環として術式変更や術後の抗血栓療法の開始の判断基準と考えられる。
