| Abstract: | Acute hemorrhage during mediastinoscopy is a life-threatening complication. Although rare, iatrogenic damage of the thoracic
great vessels is probable during mediastinoscopic biopsy. We report two cases of iatrogenic massive mediastinoscopic bleeding
from the aortic arch and innominate artery managed initially by simple packing and controlled finally by cardiopulmonary bypass
and repair under total circulatory arrest. |
