During Mariola's routine 20-week ultrasound, doctors discovered abnormal tissue in her baby Claudia’s right lung—known as a congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). Mariola felt both shock and disbelief when she first heard the news. Eventually, they were connected to L. Grier Arthur III, MD, FACS, chair of the Department of Surgery at Saint Peter’s University Hospital and surgeon-in-chief at The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s University Hospital, who would perform Claudia’s intricate surgery. Thoracoscopic surgery involves removing the lower lobe of Claudia's right lung through small incisions, avoiding the need for a large thoracotomy or invasive chest incision, which can lead to complications like scoliosis. “The surgery to correct CPAM is intricate. The lobe is connected directly to the heart via the pulmonary artery and veins, and the bronchus is connected to the trachea or windpipe. All these structures have to be disconnected safely to remove the lower lobe,” said Dr. Arthur. This case marks the first time such a procedure has been performed thoracoscopically at The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s University Hospital, a member of Saint Peter’s Healthcare System. “My baby is almost a year old, and she is doing very well now. You can’t tell that she had surgery except for three small scars from the incisions. She stands up by herself, is learning how to walk, and loves playing with her two older siblings,” Mariola said. The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s is grateful to be a part of baby Claudia’s journey from a daunting diagnosis to a thriving, joyful one-year-old.

What are the benefits of 3D mammograms over routine, 2D mammograms? Lisa Hopkins, MD, a breast surgeon at The Breast Center at Saint Peter’s, shares her thoughts. “Tomosynthesis (3D mammograms) can be used for anyone who is getting a mammogram and can be more reliable to screen for breast cancer, especially in dense breast tissue. The most significant benefit to tomosynthesis over a standard mammogram is that it can create a more detailed picture of the breast. Instead of simply compressing the tissue and taking two pictures through the breast tissue, tomosynthesis mammograms take multiple pictures of the breast from more angles and can be better at detecting smaller cancers that could be hiding within the dense tissue,” explains Dr. Hopkins. Interested in scheduling a 3D mammogram at The Breast Center at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ? Call: 732-745-6686.
