Abstract

Video-thoracoscopic pericardial window is a noninvasive method of pericardial drainage, allowing an excellent view of the pleural cavity and the pericardium and a precise selection of biopsy sites whether these are pericardial, pleural, lung or mediastinal. The results obtained in a series of 22 patients operated on using this technique are presented.
