  • There are several types of minimally invasive approaches for thymectomy, of which the transpleural approach by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is particularly useful. In this approach, thymectomy is performed from either side of the thoracic cage. Thoracic surgeons should be familiar with the principles of the procedure, the anatomy of the region, and surgical strategies for successful thymectomy. The details of transpleural thymectomy are discussed herein.

  • The rupture of the aorta commonly follows major blunt trauma to the thorax. It has markedly increased in recent years, paralleling the rising number of vehicular accidents. The most frequent site of rupture is the area of the isthmus, with the ascending aorta second. The diagnosis of the condition from clinical data is difficult, and aortography is used whenever aortic tear is suspected. We are presenting a case of patient who had intimal tearing of the thoracic aorta with multiple injuries. The patient underwent surgical repair 28 days after injury with left heart [LA-Femoral artery] bypass.

  • Aspergillus is a common saprophytic fungi of the human airways and causes a broad spectrum of diseases, ranging from aspergilloma to invasive aspergillosis. There are few reports on mediastinal aspergilloma without any underlying pulmonary disease or immunocompromise. Herein, we report a case of mediastinal aspergilloma that we experienced and treated by thoracoscopic resection and oral antifungal medication.
