Comparative the impact intraoperative phrenic nerve sacrifice on prognosis patients with thymoma [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Objectives Complete removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue is the most important prognostic factor such as survival after surgery. When the tumor invades the phrenic nerve, the impact of intraoperative phrenic nerve sacrifice on the short- and long ...

Internal Thoracic Artery Encircled by an Unusual Phrenic Nerve Loop

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007
We report an anatomic variation of the phrenic nerve. During a routine gross anatomical dissection course at our medical university, we found an unusual loop of the left phrenic nerve around the internal thoracic artery, about 1 cm from the take-off of ...
