We hereby present a case of a 40-year-old man with such a finding who presented with chest pain and facial congestion. Evaluation revealed a mediastinal mass causing marked superior venacaval obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypothermia

  We describe the hazardous transportation of a 57-year-old woman after mediastinoscopic injury of the right common carotid artery and its successful repair with cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Adequate finger pulsation generally is lost with hypothermia of a few degrees, hypotension (mean blood pressure less than 50 mm Hg), and infusion of vasoconstrictive drugs. [tele.med.ru]

• Coarctation of the Aorta

  In a patient in whom a coarctation of the aorta had been successfully operated on 17 years earlier, a life-threatening haemorrhage from a thin-walled, dilated collateral artery occurred in conjunction with a mediastinoscopy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Mediastinal Disease

  CONTEXT: With the advent of modern anatomical and functional imaging technologies, application of cervical mediastinoscopy has decreased in diagnosis and staging of mediastinal diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypotension

  The patient became hypotensive due to a loss of 1500 ml of blood in less than 5 minutes. Rapid administration of plasma and whole blood and emergency thoracotomy to control bleeding were necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Adequate finger pulsation generally is lost with hypothermia of a few degrees, hypotension (mean blood pressure less than 50 mm Hg), and infusion of vasoconstrictive drugs. [tele.med.ru]

• Withdrawn

  After the biopsy, the needle is withdrawn and the area is covered with a sterile bandage. In some cases, a catheter may be inserted to allow fluid to continue draining. [mesothelioma.com]

  Once all the lymphatics were removed, the scope was withdrawn and the biopsy sites were inspected. On the right side just above level 4 at level 3, another group of lymph nodes immediately popped into the view. [aapc.com]

  The scope is withdrawn, and the incision closed with sutures. The procedure takes about 1 hour. Risks and Complications You may experience temporary chest pain, tenderness at the incision site, or a sore throat (due to the breathing tube). [healthcommunities.com]

You may also be required to undergo several diagnostic tests, including: Blood Workup EKG PET Scan What to Expect Generally an outpatient procedure, mediastinoscopy is performed under general anesthesia. [northshore.org]

• Unilateral Hilar Adenopathy

  A radiologic review of these cases does not identify a unique pattern, although paratracheal masses present most often, while unilateral hilar adenopathy occurs somewhat less frequently. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This case report shows an uncommon complication after mediastinoscopy: pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch and its minimally invasive endovascular stenting treatment in order to facilitate the recovery and to allow minimal delay to oncological treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The involvement of ipsilateral and contralateral mediastinal lymph nodes is associated with poor prognosis and usually excludes patients from upfront surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We reviewed 54 consecutive patients (34 men and 20 women) with mediastinal pathology of varied etiologies who underwent a standard cervical mediastinoscopy from January to December 2012. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

When tubes are inserted for pleural collections of unknown etiology, examination and biochemical analysis of the fluid may yield insight into the etiology. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Other indications include mediastinal lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology, mediastinal masses, primary tracheal tumors, and occasional esophageal tumors. [thoracickey.com]

Overall, a futile thoracotomy could be prevented in 50% of patients by an additional mediastinoscopy. A representative lymph node aspirate, containing adequate numbers of lymphocytes, did not exclude metastases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
