Robotic Resection of a Combined Capillary and Arteriovenous Malformation in the Mediastinum

Prabhu Sasankan et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2021 Mar.

Abstract

The adult presentation of a mediastinal arteriovenous malformation is rare. Resection of these lesions are commonly performed via open thoracotomy, with a risk of bleeding from multiple feeding vessels. This report describes a robotic resection of a mediastinal arteriovenous malformation in a 55-year-old man.
