Technique for Myasthenia Gravis: Subxiphoid Approach.

Thoracic surgery clinics, 2019
Kido and colleagues in 1999 used for the first time the subxiphoid approach. Recently, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy has been improved for the advancement of surgical materials and new instruments. The most important aspect regarding the subxiphoid approach is the possibility to avoid the intercostal nerve damage with the ...

Apical Approach Pericardiocentesis Compared to Subxiphoid Approach

Journal of National Heart and Lung Society Nepal
Background: Very few studies have been done worldwide and no studies in Nepal to compare different approaches to pericardiocentesis. We wanted to evaluate safety and complications of apical approach pericardiocentesis. Methods: Approach to pericardiocentesis and parameters including complications noted in proforma after getting consent from the ...

Uniportal VATS Lobectomy: Subxiphoid Approach.

Revista portuguesa de cirurgia cardio-toracica e vascular : orgao oficial da Sociedade Portuguesa de Cirurgia Cardio-Toracica e Vascular, 2019
Interest in uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is rapidly growing worldwide because it represents the surgical approach to the lung with the least possible trauma and in recent years the subxiphoid approach has been used in the field of thoracic surgery as it is associated with lesser pain because there is no intercostal nerve damage and ...

New cardiac retractor for epicardial electrode insertion via subxiphoid approach

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
A new retractor for the insertion of epicardial screw-in electrodes is described. We have found that this instrument can be easily applied to the heart and gives excellent exposure for electrode insertion.

[Thymectomy via Trans-subxiphoid Approach].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery
Minimally invasive thoracoscopic thymectomy has been indicated in patients with non-invasive thymic epithelial tumors or myasthenia gravis. Sub-xiphoid thymectomy has an advantage of similar surgical view of median sternotomy as compare to lateral approach.

The Subxiphoid Approach Leads to Less Invasive Thoracoscopic Thymectomy Than the Lateral Approach

World Journal of Surgery, 2016
AbstractObjectiveVideo‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is widely used in thoracic surgery. This study investigated the usefulness of the subxiphoid approach in thymectomy using VATS techniques.MethodsSixty operations were performed using the lateral approach (n = 46) and subxiphoid approach (n = 14). Using the lateral approach, 39 partial thymectomies

Open Videoassisted Techniques: Subxiphoid Approach with Bilateral Thoracoscopy

2008
For more than 50 years, sternal splitting thymectomy has been the gold standard ever since Blalock first introduced thymectomy for treatment of myasthenia in 1939 [1]. Jaretzki [2] and Masaoka [3] have demonstrated varied distribution of ectopic thymic tissues in the mediastinum and the neck.

[Echography in pneumopericardium. Value of the subxiphoid approach].

Annales de cardiologie et d'angeiologie, 1984
Para-sternal echocardiography proved impossible in a case of a large pneumopericardium caused by an oesophageo-pericardial fistula. However, M mode and sector scanning showed separation of the pericardium, giving non-homogeneous echoes, and shaded echographic areas caused by the interference of air which masked all recognisable structures.
