ThoHSpEkt Thoracoscopic Ectomy of Radioactively Marked Pulmonary Nodules With Free-hand SPECT
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Title ThoHSpEkt
Study Design Pilot Study concerning the technical operative methods and a phase II study concerning the radiopharmaceutical (therapeutic-explorative study with an approved drug in a new indication)
Location Kantonsspital St.Gallen
Aim Proof of feasibility of thoracoscopic ectomy of radioactively marked pulmonary nodules with the help of free-hand SPECT.
Background In the Cantonal Hospital of St.Gallen an average of 30 - 40 patients will be operated with thoracoscopic ectomy for a pulmonary nodule. When localisation of the nodule is not possible a switch to minithoracotomy is performed.
Study intervention Marking of pulmonary nodules with radioactivity. Free-hand SPECT guided surgery
Risks Risks of bronchoscopic or CT-intervention Radiation risk (minimal)
Rational for patient number 10 patients for each group are enough to prove the feasibility, to manage difficulties and to record complications
Duration approximately 24 months.

Experimental: CT guided labelling CT guided radioactive labelling of pulmonary nodules followed by handheld-SPECT guided thoracoscopic surgery. |
Drug: Radioactive labelling of pulmonary nodules
Application directly into a pulmonary nodule
Other Names:
Device: CT guided radioactive labelling
CT guided puncture is a standard procedure in radiology. In this study it is used to mark pulmonary nodules for the following thoracoscopic surgery, done with a handheld-SPECT device.
