Stent implantation after endobronchial argon plasma coagulation and sacculus dilatation for treating main airway stenosis
Objective To explore the strategy of bronchoscope interventional procedures on main airway stenosis/obstruciton Methods There were 6 cases main airway stenosis/obstruction included,who were treated by stent implantation after endobronchial argon plasma coagulation and sacculus dilatation.Results After treatment,the condition of all patients were improved with relief from airway stenosis,freedom from pulmonary atelectasis and remission of dyspnoea; so the pulmonary function were improved,and the lifetime was prolonged.Conclusions Stent implantation after endobronchial argon plasma coagulation and global sacculus dilatation via flexible bronchoscope is a safe and effective strategy for treating main airway stenosis/obstruction.
Summary In the pilot study, a new geomodeling technology is presented for developing 3D heterogonous geomodels for Athabasca McMurray (MCMR) oil sands. The geomodels were used to simulate SAGD thermal recovery. Both conventional SAGD completions and SAGD with ICD completions were tested. The simulation results show that for a heterogeneous Athabasca McMurray oil sand reservoir, the ICD completion technology enhances oil production and reduces steam consumption. As a result, the economics of SAGD recovery from the heterogeneous sands is improved.
