Diagnostic role of videothoracoscopy in mediastinal diseases [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 1998 In order to assess the role of videothoracoscopy in the diagnosis of mediastinal diseases, we report a retrospective analysis of 52 cases of mediastinal biopsy performed with this technique.Between January 1992 and December 1996 52 patients (39 men and 13 women, mean age 53 +/- 29 years) with mediastinal lesions were referred to our department for ...
