摘 要:BACKGROUND Superior vena cava(SVC)aneurysms are a relatively uncommon disease that has not been widely *** conventional surgical approach for treating SVC aneurysms includes open thoracotomy and ***,in this case,the aneurysm could be safely resected by thoracoscopic simultaneous lateral and subxiphoid access *** SUMMARY A 58-year-old male presented with intermittent chest pain and persistent discomfort in the chest area.A chest computed tomography scan revealed a 6.2 cm aneurysm in the left innominate vein and SVC *** surgical resection,simultaneous lateral and subxiphoid access were planned to achieve optimal proximal and distal aneurysm *** approach site was 1 cm below the xiphoid process,the fifth mid-axillary line and the seventh anterior axillary line on the right *** aneurysm was resected using a *** patient was discharged on the third day after chest tube removal on the second postoperative day with no particular *** Aneurysms located within the mediastinum can be accessed through thoracoscopic approach without open surgery and safely resected using vascular staples.
